Trade agreements between EU and Latin America - imperialism with a new face?
When the WTO-negotiations are stuck, the EU push for bilateral trade agreements. EU is now negotiating Association Agreements with Central America and the Andean community. The EU Commission does not take into account the enormous differences between the regions, and is pushing through agreements regarding investments and trade facilitation. How might such agreements impact on human rights?
