ACUERDO DE LIBRE
COMERCIO ENTRE ESTADOS UNIDOS Y LA UNIÓN EUROPEA
Las crisis obligan
entre otras cosas a agudizar el ingenio a todos los niveles, y una de las
consecuencias de la actual crisis global es el acuerdo alcanzado entre Estados
Unidos y la Unión Europea para crear lo que constituiría la zona de libre
comercio más importante a nivel planetario. Para lograr esta hazaña cuentan con
un periodo de tiempo de dos años.
Son famosos los eternos
enfrentamientos entre estas dos potencias económicas en la Organización Mundial
del Comercio, pero la creciente sombra que proyecta el gigante chino hace que estos
antiguos enemigos intenten unirse para librar un combate que va a ser muy duro,
y en el que se dirimirá quién será el director de orquesta de la economía del
planeta.
Libre comercio
significa, entre otras cosas, reducir aranceles incluso en aquellos sectores
que pueden verse afectados al quedar desprotegidos frente a las exigencias que
supondría la entrada en el mercado de los sectores del otro bloque económico
con ventajas competitivas.
Sin embargo, los
nuevos sectores de la economía constituyen los verdaderos retos a la hora de
descubrir nuevas oportunidades. Pero para ello es necesario elaborar nuevas
formas de colaboración y un nuevo modo de hacer negocios. También resulta
obligado descubrir formas distintas de enseñanza para adaptarse a las nuevas
herramientas globales como Internet y a las nuevas e inmisericordes máquinas
que controlan nuestro mundo, cada vez más dependiente de la tecnología.
Pero sobre todo es
muy importante establecer acuerdos en las nuevas materias como la neurociencia,
la nanotecnología, la supercomputación y la creación de centros conjuntos de
investigación avanzada, que pueden abrir nuevos horizontes en todos los campos.
Acuerdos se han
producido por parte de EEUU y de la UE
con otros países, pero esta propuesta viene a dar carta de naturaleza al hecho
de que su relación económica es, actualmente, la mayor del mundo y supone un
tercio del comercio total de bienes y servicios.
FREE TRADE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND THE EUROPEAN UNION
Crises require among other things to sharpen your wits at all levels, and one of the consequences of the current global crisis is the agreement reached between the United States and the European Union to create what would be the FTA's most critical at a global level. To accomplish this feat they have a period of two years.
Famous are the eternal confrontation between these two economic powers in the World Trade Organization, but the growing shadow of the Chinese giant makes these old enemies unite to try to fight a battle that will be very hard, and which shall be settled Who is the conductor of the planet's economy.
Free trade means, among other things, reduce tariffs even in sectors that may be affected by being unprotected against the demands that would be the entry into the market of another block economic sectors with competitive advantages.
However, the new sectors of the economy are the real challenges in discovering new opportunities. But this requires developing new partnerships and a new way of doing business. It must also find ways of teaching to adapt to new global tools such as the Internet and new and merciless machines that control our world increasingly dependent on technology.
But above all it is very important to establish agreements in new areas such as neuroscience, nanotechnology, supercomputing centers and the creation of joint advanced research that can open new horizons in all fields.
Agreements have been produced by the U.S. and EU with other countries, but this proposal is to provide a certificate of naturalization to the fact that their economic relationship is currently the world's largest in the world and accounts for a third of total trade in goods and services.
