Latin America and the Caribbean in the World Economy: 2005 Trends

The study recently published by the Division of International Trade and Integration of ECLAC considers that 2005 will be a good year for trade in the countries of the region. Despite a favourable international context, there are still serious problems of competitiveness. The region needs to increase productivity, promote technological innovation and take a proactive part in worldwide networks. The conclusions of the study include the need to update integration; to take a strategic view of the links to be constructed with China and the countries of the Pacific; to manage free-trade agreements so as to increase and diversify exports; to step up the pace of work and improve coordination with the developing countries on the Doha Round, and to gradually incorporate the demands of security into competitiveness policies, ensuring that they do not become protectionist barriers (traceability, food safety and maritime and port security).

Trade facilitation in the mulitilateral framework of the World Trade Organization (WTO)

This article is a follow-up to the FAL Bulletin No. 167, in the sense that it considers developments in trade facilitation within WTO. Its focus, however, is exclusively on what has occured within WTO in this area. Emphasis is placed not only on expanding on, but also on updating the relevant background information presented on the Subject in FAL No. 167. An attempt has been made to incorporate some analytical elements into an orientation that is primarily descriptive.
