» Resistance to EU-CAN FTA
The EU-CAN (Andean Community of Nations, comprising of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru) FTA negotiations are finding roadblocks as the perspectives of the governments of Bolivia and Ecuador are too progressive to be agreeable to the EU. In an effort to yet impose an FTA in the region, the EU has now shifted to a divisive strategy of bilateral negotiations with individual countries in the region. The governments of Colombia and Peru are playing along, with strong resistance from civil society.
