 Los tratados de libre comercio que Colombia tiene vigentes con los Estados
Unidos.

The entry into force of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between Colombiaand
the United States is the beginning of a "new era" in relations betweenthe two
countries.

“It is one of the most important days in the history of relations between theUnited
States and Colombia. We started a new era in the diplomatic andcommercial
alliance of both countries. With NAFTA, Colombia enters the bigleagues, ”said
Ambassador Silva.

In the last decade, Colombia's foreign trade policy was based on

thedeepening of trade relations with the Andean Community and the efforts
toobtain unilateral access to certain markets, especially the United
States,through the ATPA schemes. / ATPDEA, and that of the European
Union,through the GSP scheme.

When free trade involves a developed country and one that has not yet
fully industrialized, then an exploitation of natural resources can occur. Some
households can see the traditional livelihood fade for modern jobs.

It can even cause problems in the domestic employment sector for all parties
involved. The Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the United States and
Colombia entered into force on May 15, 2012, immediately eliminating tariffs on
more than 80% of US exports of industrial and consumer products to Colombia.

NAFTA's tariff cuts will expand US merchandise exports by more than $ 1 billion,
creating thousands of additional US jobs. The Commission also estimated
that NAFTA will increase US GDP by $ 2.5 billion.
