玻利维亚期待成为南方共同市场的正式成员

By PPO Abogados

在巴西参议院批准加入后,玻利维亚距离成为南美南方共同市场贸易集团的正式成员又近了一步。虽然玻利维亚自 1996 年以来通过加入议定书与南方共同市场建立了联系,但它还不是正式成员。加入需要得到所有现有成员国的批准,然后在南方共同市场区域峰会上正式完成。预计该手续将于今年完成。

Mercosur,全称Mercado Común del Sur(南方共同市场),是一个成立于1991年的南美洲贸易集团。其正式成员包括阿根廷、巴西、巴拉圭和乌拉圭。

正式成员享有与所有其他成员的免关税贸易,这意味着他们可以进出口货物而无需缴纳额外关税。这可以显着降低进出口货物的成本,使其在区域市场上更具竞争力。

南方共同市场还与欧盟等其他国家和集团进行自由贸易协定(FTA)谈判。作为正式成员,一个国家可以通过获得进入新市场的优惠准入而从这些协议中受益。
