¿Crees que el TLC es las mejores oportunidades y para crecer en todo el mundo?
1. the advantages generated by the FTA is that these international agreements contribute to
the country as in that case Colombia the advantage that its entrepreneurs can sell their
products and services abroad in better conditions, without paying taxes (tariffs) and
without being subjected to other types of barriers, something that should be paid if there
are no such treaties.
The disadvantages generated by agreements between nations with different levels of
economic development, that is, between countries with a developed economy and
emerging countries are not as equitable as multilateral agreements that do try to balance
the role of economies.
2. To agree on the granting of mutual tariff preferences and the reduction of non-tariff
barriers to trade in goods and services. That is, these agreements simplify the entry and
exit of products from one country to another, avoiding the restrictions that normally exist.
For many companies it is a great benefit since they have new markets to sell their
products to. But do not forget that many small sellers get more competition from outside,
sometimes at cheaper prices, and that hurts them.
3. It could be said that somehow yes, the elimination of international trade barriers can
open, within some national industries, a very complicated competition to sustain. Some
international markets are not at the same level as the national industry and are able to
produce a certain form of product cheaper than in many Latin countries, being the case of
China a very prominent when we talk about labor costs. As such, this surplus merchandise
floods the local market at much cheaper prices and, essentially, comes to dominate that
industry. In other words, in practice, FTAs are more convenient for large companies than
for entrepreneurs with few resources. Another issue criticized by experts is that strong
competition could lead to practices of 'anything goes', on issues such as pollution to be
competitive with other countries, but in emerging countries that ignore the environment.
