ECONOMIC RELATIONS BETWEEN COLOMBIA AND COUNTRIES OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Introduction

over the years, the European Union has forged as one of the largest and most powerful unions in the world, with a solid economy. Therefore, several Latin American countries like Colombia have considered it appropriate to establish treaties and strategies with this country.

Through the content of the project there will be an in-depth analysis of three selected countries of the EUROPEAN UNION; FRANCE, GERMANY and AUSTRIA and their treaties, relations in different spheres (commercial, environmental, legal, economic, social, political, among others), will study possible scenarios to establish strategic links between these nations and opportunities with COLOMBIA.

Research problem

What are the possible strategies to create an area of ​​integration in different factors (economic, commercial, environmental, legal, monetary, etc.) of Colombia with these nations?

Justification

In this paper, three countries of the EUROPEAN UNION that are GERMANY, AUTRIA and FRANCE were chosen to investigate each one, such as their geographic area, their culture, their economy, in particular to be able to investigate what free trade agreements with COLOMBIA have had and that has benefited each country, such as tariffs, increased productivity, market expansion, competitiveness, and also with this to be able to know the shortcomings of those treaties or disadvantages and as professionals we are giving points to help provide more information from each country with which it is possible to speak properly and it is suggested to make new free trade agreements where we can exploit the wealth of each one without being affected and that manages to unite more economically to the continent

Hypothesis

The free trade agreements with the EUROPEAN UNION have been mainly with countries of South America. Since they are countries that have an excellent geographical area and their exploitation of natural resources is privileged, but this makes some of the countries participate and want to expand their market at the international level, sign free trade agreements leaving their resources to exploit get some benefits, and many of them do not do a deeper economic study of their nationwide needs for everyone to win. Since not many win with these treaties, for example, the national industry of these countries in some sectors such as agriculture, clothing and technology are affected because it is cheaper to import than to buy what your country produces, or the variable price . Therefore, in addition to letting the government always be in charge of managing our resources, we as a people must keep ourselves informed and participate in the country's economy.

General Objective

Through this work as a general objective, we want to make known and know countries of the EUROPEAN UNION. Those who have a great economic and cultural development, since, have a high development compared to trade, so that already and be able to give a fully economic approach in the treaties with COLOMBIA.

However, for now, we will focus on talking about the countries we have chosen, which have a good sustainable development in all areas
