Los posibles efectos del AAR en el MERCOSUR han sido ampliamente estudiados. La gran mayoría de ellos coinciden en que el acuerdo beneficiará a las partes, y en el caso específico del MERCOSUR fortalecerá sus ventajas comparativas. El punto argumentado en el trabajo es demostrar que la implementación del Acuerdo condenará a los países del MERCOSUR a ser eternos exportadores de materias primas agrícolas y sus primeras transformaciones industriales, que es donde radican las ventajas comparativas del bloque. Entonces el Acuerdo dejará al MERCOSUR, sin o con escasa oportunidad para desarrollar manufacturas de mayor valor agregado. El trabajo concluye que el Acuerdo fortalecerá la exportación de bienes en los cuales el MERCOSUR tiene ventjas comparativas, que es lo mismo que decir será un eterno exportador de materias primas agrícolas y sus primeras manufacturas.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT The European Union (EU) and the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR for its Spanish acronym) have been negotiating since the mid-nineties, to no avail, the signature of a bi-Regional partnership Agreement (AAR). The possible effects of the AAR on the MERCOSUR have been widely studied. Most of the studies agree that the agreement would be beneficial for both parties, and that in the specific case of Mercosur, the agreement would strengthen its comparative advantages. The aim of this work is, however, to show that the implementation of the agreement would condemn the Mercosur countries to remain forever as exporters of agriculture raw material and manufactured goods with low added value, which is indeed, the block´s main competitive advantages. In this context, the agreement will leave the MERCOSUR countries with scarce or no opportunity to develop industries with higher added value. This paper concludes that the Agreement will favor the export of products in which the MERCOSUR has already had competitive, which implies that MERCOSUR will remain as an exporter of agricultural commodities and producer of low added value manufactures.]]></p></abstract>
