ESTUDIOS ECONÓMICOS Y ESTADÍSTICAS: CUESTIONES TRANSVERSALES EN LOS ACUERDOS COMERCIALES REGIONALES
Seminario de la OMC sobre cuestiones transversales en los Acuerdos Comerciales Regionales
La Secretaría organizó un seminario el 25 de septiembre para examinar los documentos de trabajo preparados por funcionarios de la OMC sobre los acuerdos comerciales regionales (ACR). Esos documentos se refieren a una serie de cuestiones abarcadas por los ACR, como el acceso a los mercados de mercancías y de servicios, las normas de origen, las normas relativas a los servicios, las disposiciones sobre medidas antidumping y de salvaguardia, la facilitación del comercio, la propiedad intelectual y las disposiciones en materia de solución de diferencias, y están basados en todos los ACR que se han notificado a la OMC. El objetivo del seminario era presentar y examinar las principales conclusiones a que se llega en esos documentos.
