Before seeing the types of free trade agreements that countries like Colombia
and the United States have agreed upon, we need to know a little more what
these agreements mean and what they represent to a third world country like
Colombia.
The Free Trade Agreement between Colombia and the United States seeks to
establish trade without barriers or tariffs between the two nations mentioned.
The treaty is highly questioned. The treaty directly affects economic policy
issues, institutional, labor, environmental, intellectual property, among others.
The FTA is based on this belief in trade liberalization and the economic
integration, at all levels, between peoples. It is considered that economic
evidence would be irrefutable in terms of the benefits obtained product of
internationalization. All countries that have economies open to foreign
investment and a greater volume of international trade per capita (exports per
capita + imports per capita) would achieve levels of human development,
quality of life and economic growth, higher to its similar ones. Those who
defend free trade believe that this brings benefits to the less open countries,
because by increasing imports it is obliged to National companies to discipline
themselves "forcing them to adjust prices to costs marginal and thus reducing
the distortions created by monopolistic power ". At the same time, trade
liberalization. The productivity of companies. intermediates of high quality at
lower prices "and finally", the The productivity of companies increases when
the inputs come in contact with demanding international clients and with the
"best practices" of their external competitors.
In addition, domestic companies can benefit if they have the opportunity to
redesign the products of foreign companies ".
An agreement of the type of the current FTA negotiated between several
Andean countries and United States would be beneficial as long as as a whole
never sectoral throw a positive net result, that is, adding all the good and
subtracting everything the bad, you get a utility for the country. So far according
to what agreed in the table texts of the negotiation the net result that Colombia
would be getting serious for many experts still seem difficult to clarify.
However, there are also those parties that consider that it is beneficial for our
country, that the FTA free trade agreements be carried out.
The supporters of the Treaty consider that it has the following favorable effects:
- Access without tariffs to the United States for almost 100 percent of the
Colombia's exportable industrial offer, which must not only maintain
employment current in the sector but generate new places.
In addition, there would still be time to tilt the balance further in favor of
Colombia achieving objectives such as the approval of Colombian titles in the
United States, to agree even more flexible rules of origin for Colombian
exporters, expanding the total amount of the venture capital fund that will be
created, and (perhaps the most important of all) the creation of a committee
permanent bilateral decision-making that would provide real access to
Colombian agricultural exports, so that Colombia could exploit intensively its
comparative advantages - natural resources - and create sustainable
competitive advantages over time, which irrigate employment and wealth in
the entire Colombian nation.
Those who are against the FTA argue in general that in the net balance
Colombia would continue to obtain a minimum profit, and reproach the
