| Sumario: | The intensification of trade relations between economic blocs has been a consistent trend from the nineties. Taking into account the recent entry into force of the Strategic Partnership agreement between the EU and some members of the Andean Community of Nations (Colombia and Peru), it is clear that the negotiating strategy did begin as a bloc to bloc negotiation scheme which became a multi-party agreement. The aim of this paper is examining the negotiating strategy given by the Member States of the Andean Community of Nations to the Communitarian Andean Law since the announcement of the negotiations with the EU. Through a descriptive methodology, the negotiation dynamics reached by the Andeans will be analyzed chronologically, as well as the flexibility adopted by the Europeans. This paper is divided into three sections. The first one presents the main reasons for the European and Andean integration, and the increase of economic regional trade agreements; followed by a second section focused on the trade pillar analysis as part of the Strategic Partnership signed by Colombia, Peru and the EU. The third section deals with negotiation dynamics of the commercial pillar between the economic blocs and the flexibility of the Andean Communitarian Law will be discussed. Finally, the main remarks and recommendations will be tackled. |
