En julio de 2021, la Comisión Europea presentó el paquete Fit for 55 con el objetivo de reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero en la Unión Europea en al menos un 55% para 2030. Este paquete incluye el mecanismo de ajuste fronterizo de carbono (CBAM) dirigido inicialmente al cemento, fertilizantes, hierro, acero, aluminio, electricidad e hidrógeno. La introducción de este impuesto transfronterizo al carbono ha generado debates a nivel mundial y ha suscitado preocupaciones sobre la posibilidad de que se convierta en una vía para el lavado verde, así como sobre acusaciones de protec…

En el presente artículo se examinan los principales tipos de medidas restrictivas del comercio adoptadas o anunciadas en el mundo desde la irrupción de la crisis económica en septiembre de 2008 hasta fines de 2009, incluyendo aquellas vinculadas con el combate al cambio climático.

Global antidumping activity peaked in 2001, with 366 petitions initiated world-wide, and rapidly diminished to just 163 cases in 2007. With the onset of the current major world-wide recession some observers feared that antidumping usage would climb dramatically; however while antidumping activity was up by 28% in 2008 (to 208 cases initiated, according to WTO statistics), the rise was not nearly commensurate with the financial distress, and new antidumping initiations for the first three quarters of 2009 -at 154 cases- are on pace to show little change for the full year compared to the previou…

Studies of Argentina, Colombia, Chile and Mexico conducted collaboratively by ECLAC and GTZ point to environmental impacts associated with small and medium enterprises (SMEs), particularly in the manufacturing sector. This impact is essentially local, though it can become significant at the aggregate level, i.e., SMEs are responsible for some of the environmental problems caused by industry as a whole. Though SMEs account for only a small fraction of such problems -at the national level, the effect is often marginal in terms of environmental degradation- the impact may be significant and fairl…

The present level of intra-regional trade of Latin America and the Caribbean in relation to their total exports is still low when compared to the peak of 21.1% registered in 1997, despite its rebound in 2003 and continued recovery into 2004. While this trade holds a high potential for future growth, there are a series of problems to be addressed in order for regional integration to continue on the paths of recovery and deep integration. The countries in the region should keep working on the constraints that its regional integration process continues to suffer from the persistence of non-tariff…

Executive Summary The global economy is experiencing a recession, which originated in the United States and is affecting developed and developing economies alike. Between the second and third quarter of 2001, the United States GDP growth rate decreased from 2.6 per cent to 1.2 per cent. For the same period, the European Union's GDP growth rate declined from 2.4 per cent to 1.7 per cent. For Latin America and the Caribbean the growth will fall from 4 per cent in 2000 to 1 per cent in 2001. A central issue regarding the current recession is whether it will be short lived or rather …
