Why the US–Andean FTAs undermine sustainable development and regionalintegration
Date of publication:
June 2006 US free trade agreements with Peru and Colombia, as well as
the possible agreement with Ecuador, were negotiated under
the promise of great opportunities in the world’s richest market,
but the truth is that these agreements will have a devastating
impact on the livelihoods of small farmers, public health, and the
regulation of investment to protect the public interest.
Furthermore, they will weaken existing regional processes of
integration and co-operation.
Trade rules with the Andean region need to be substantially modified in order for development to become a priority once again.
