Tipo de publicación Fecha Autor Ámbito político Palabra clave Estudio 18-04-2016 Laurence VANDEWALLE | Barbara BARONE | Anete BANDONE | Carmen-Paz MARTI DOMINGUEZ Medio ambiente | Comercio internacional | Democracia | Pesca | Asuntos exteriores | Derechos humanos régimen militar | situación política | tráfico de personas | intercambio comercial | política exterior | golpe de Estado | acuerdo (UE) | trabajador migrante | ASEAN | derechos humanos | democracia | Tailandia | política comercial | regulación de la pesca | situación económica Resumen After staging a military coup against the Yingluck Shinawatra government, a junta has been ruling Thailand since 22 May 2014. It has drastically restricted political activities and freedom of speech. There have been numerous human rights abuses, including torture. Under a ‘roadmap to democracy’, a referendum on a new constitution is planned for August 2017 and could be followed by elections at a later stage. However, the military might retain power until the king’s successor accedes to the throne, in order to guarantee stability. Despite close trade ties, the EU has suspended the signing of a partnership and cooperation agreement and negotiations on a free trade agreement until democracy is restored. In April 2015, Thailand received a ‘yellow card’ warning by the European Commission for problems relating to illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Publicación en DE, EN, FR, IT EU–Latin America trade relations: Overview and figures Tipo de publicación Fecha Autor Ámbito político Palabra clave Análisis en profundidad 11-03-2016 Enrique GOMEZ RAMIREZ | Eleni LAZAROU | Laura PUCCIO | Giulio SABBATI Comercio internacional | Asuntos exteriores estadística comercial | acuerdo de libre comercio | Chile | intercambio comercial | Argentina | Colombia | Mercosur | México | negociación de acuerdo (UE) | Ecuador | Comunidad Andina | América Central | Cariforum | Brasil | acuerdo comercial (UE) | Perú Resumen Trade relations between the EU and Latin American countries have come back into the spotlight in recent years. Collectively, the countries forming the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) represent the fifth largest trading partner of the EU. The EU has concluded agreements with two Latin American (LA) groupings (Cariforum and the Central America group) and with four other Latin American countries (Mexico, Chile, Peru and Colombia). The FTAs concluded by the EU with Latin American countries differ considerably in terms of coverage and methodology depending on the time at which they were concluded and the context of the negotiations. The EU now aims to modernise the oldest FTAs, concluded with Mexico and Chile, in order to align them to the current standards of EU FTAs. The long-standing negotiations on a comprehensive trade agreement with Mercosur – which would mean the EU then had trade agreements with nearly all of Latin America – are yet to pick up pace, however.

Through enhanced market access, trade diversification and full exploitation of export possibilities, these FTAs could help to offset the potential negative impact of trade agreements on the EU, both those being pursued and those which have already been concluded in the AsiaPacific region. Publicación en EN The TTIP’s Potential Impact on Developing Countries: A Review of Existing Literature and Selected Issues Tipo de publicación Fecha Autor Ámbito político Palabra clave Análisis en profundidad 29-04-2015 Manuel MANRIQUE GIL | Elfriede BIERBRAUER | Marika LERCH Comercio internacional | Desarrollo y ayuda humanitaria intercambio por grupos de países | Estados Unidos | preferencias generalizadas | suspensión de los derechos de aduana | país en desarrollo | acuerdo de libre comercio | liberación de los intercambios | intercambio comercial | estudio de impacto | consecuencia económica | negociación de acuerdo (UE) | acuerdo comercial (UE) | geopolítica Resumen The position and concerns of developing countries have only belatedly entered the discussion over the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). While poor countries may gain much from the positive effects of the TTIP, their precarious positions means that they may be less able to react and adapt to negative consequences. The EU is required to assess the development effects of its policies, including trade policies, by the Lisbon Treaty. Although the shape and scope of the final TTIP agreement is not yet known, economic analyses have identified different ways in which it could affect developing countries and influence the global trading system. Several economic studies have also attempted to measure the possible outcomes for different countries and regions. While it appears that the negative impact of trade diversion and preference erosion is likely to be small, there may be notable exceptions, including risks to the position of some countries in international value chains. Proposals to address such negative consequences include concrete measures for affected countries, such as extending unilateral preferences and shaping the TTIP in such a way as to facilitate positive effects. Extending the principle of mutual recognition or equivalence to third parties and defining liberal rules of origin in the agreement are particularly important. Publicación en EN Economic significance of trade in services: Background to negotiations on a Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) Tipo de publicación Fecha Autor Ámbito político Palabra clave Análisis en profundidad 18-02-2015 Wilhelm SCHOELLMANN Comercio internacional política comercial común | libre prestación de servicios | estadística comercial | importación (UE) | estadística económica | exportación (UE) | método estadístico | obstáculo no arancelario | negociación arancelaria | intercambio comercial | AGCS Resumen Fifty-one members of the World Trade Organization (WTO): Australia, Canada, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Colombia, Costa Rica, Hong Kong, Iceland, Israel, Japan, Liechtenstein, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, South Korea, Switzerland, Turkey and the United States, together with the European Union and its 28 Member States – have been trying to find a way to break the deadlock in the Doha Round on liberalising trade in services since March 2013. These countries together represent over two thirds of global trade in services. The services sector accounts for more than 70% of GDP in the EU and in other developed economies, as well as for a substantial share of GDP in emerging economies. The sector is also the largest employer in the EU and other advanced economies. Yet the proportion of services trade in total international trade lags well behind its importance in overall economic activity. Reasons for the low share of services in overall trade include lower tradability of (some) services, under-reporting of the importance of services for overall trade in the balance of payments, and barriers to trade in services. Policy-makers intervene in the services trade to enhance consumer protection, counter market failures and secure a beneficial equity position. At the same time, government-imposed barriers to trade can reduce the efficiency and range of services provided. As services are instrumental in ensuring the smooth running of the economy, and play an increasing role in facilitating international trade in goods, restrictions imposed on the services trade may lower the international competitiveness of an economy. Calculating equivalent tariffs for non-tariff measures and compiling indices on the restrictiveness of the services trade help to enable comparison of non-tariff measures across countries and serve as a reference point for governments and negotiators when considering renegotiating the framework governing international trade in services.

Publicación en EN Cuba's international trade Tipo de publicación Fecha Autor Ámbito político Palabra clave De un vistazo 09-02-2015 Wilhelm SCHOELLMANN Comercio internacional | Asuntos exteriores Cuba | preferencias generalizadas | Estados Unidos | balanza comercial | política de exportación | política de importación | turismo | relación comercial | intercambio comercial | sanción económica Resumen Cuba's main imports are machinery, food and fuel products, while its major exports are refined fuels, sugar, tobacco, nickel and pharmaceuticals. In addition to merchandise exports, Cuba pays for much-needed imports through the export of services (tourism, medical personnel working abroad), remittances from Cubans living out of the country and finance from outside benefactors. The island recently reformed its foreign investment law and opened a Chinese-style 'special economic zone' around the new container terminal in Mariel with the aim of attracting additional foreign direct investment. President Obama's new policy on Cuba does not amount to lifting the US embargo as such, but rather expands and facilitates a specific range of possibilities for commercial and private exchange.
