 | | The groundwork for the Community was established in 1969 in the Cartagena Agreement. | | | In August 2003, the Andean Community and Mercosur Foreign Ministers, during a meeting in Montevideo at which the CAN delivered a working proposal containing guidelines for the negotiation, reaffirmed their governments' political determination to move ahead with the negotiation of a free trade agreement between the two blocs. | | | This moves reciprocates the actions of Mercosur which granted associate membership to all the Andean Community nations by virtue of the Economic Complementarity Agreements (Free Trade agreements) signed between the CAN and individual Mercosur members. |

| | CLIMATE CHANGE: Andean Community Pushes for Urgent Action |
| | The five members of the Andean Community trade bloc have taken a common position to the 11th Conference of the 189 Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 11) and the first meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol, running Nov. 28-Dec. 9 in Montreal, Canada. | | | Andean environmental management depends on foreign aid, and is not a priority for any of the region's governments. | | | Adapting national environmental laws to the free trade agreement has been rejected by civil society groups in the Andean countries, which see this as subordinating sovereign legislative functions to the trade agenda of the United States, a country that is not even a party to the Kyoto Protocol. |

| | Andean Community and other blocs The Andean Presidents are confident that the negotiations between the countries members of the Cartagena Agreement and the Common Market of the Southern Cone will help increase economic ties between the two subregional integration schemes in a context of open regionalism. | | | Accordingly, the Andean Presidents adopted the Protocol Amending the Andean Subregional Integration Agreement (Cartagena Agreement), which establishes the Andean Community and the Andean Integration System as the new legal framework for meeting the challenges faced by the subregional integration process as a result of changes in the world economy. | | | In that regard, they instruct the Andean Council of Ministers for Foreign Affairs when they meet in April with their European counterparts, in Cochabamba, Bolivia, to take specific measures to deepen interregional relations and to strengthen ties of inter-institutional cooperation between the European Union and the bodies and institutions of the Andean Integration System. |

| | Andean countries, therefore, should use the FTAA negotiations as a means to enhance their liberalisation efforts, to consolidate the Andean Community regime in relevant areas, and to engage in constructive dialogue with their larger partner in a forum where trade issues are the focus. | | | Andean Community countries, as well as other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean need to jump start the institutional or "second generation" reforms that are essential to achieve macroeconomic stability. | | | Moreover, the Andean Community countries are important suppliers of a strategic commodity, oil, giving the area salience to the United States well beyond the magnitude of bilateral trade flows. |

| | The European Union and The Andean Community: Two Integration Systems |
| | Initially the EU budget was mainly to finance the Community Agricultural Policy (CAP), and revenues came from member governments’ contributions. | | | A major problem in the Andean integration is the members’ reluctance to give up sovereignty in favor of more powerful supranational institutions, which is a requirement for political integration. | | | The new institutions, together with the Andean Corporation of Development (ADC), the Andean Parliament and Latin American Reserve Fund, form the Andean System of Integration. |
