L’Union Européenne e le Mexique: l’Accord régional de partenariat

Summary/Abstract: Latin America especially since the accession of Spain in 1986 has been strategically important for Europe. At the same time is the sub-continent has continued to be relevant for in the external policies of United States. Mexico is the example of a country where these geopolitical interests have crossed. The Nafta, on the part of the United States, negotiated and entered into force at the beginning on the nineties. As an answer to Nafta, a few years later, in the mid 1990s, the European Union negotiated an Economic Partnership, Political Coordination and Cooperation Agreement with Mexico, which was signed in 1997 and entered into force in 2000. This Agreement provides a suitable framework for both deepening and strengthening EUMexico political relations. The Agreement has three main pillars: political dialogue, trade and cooperation. It also allowed the EU to reinforce its economic and commercial positions in Mexico, which had been under considerable pressure since the entry into force of NAFTA.
