The Andean Court of Justice (ACJ) and the Permanent Tribunal of Review (PTR) of Mercosur have used the European Court of Justice (ECJ) case law to define the principle of free movement of goods enshrined in the Cartagena Agreement and the Treaty of Asuncion. This paper seeks to analyze the manner in which the ACJ and the PTR have applied the ECJ case law in order to determine the existence of trade restrictions. It is argued that there is a need to developed a contextual interpretation of the principle of free movement of goods in the Andean Community and Mercosur that clarifies and develop the concepts of the Cartagena Agreement and the Treaty of Asuncion in the light of their own integration processes, of which the ACJ and the PTR are part.

Article 73 of the Cartagena Agreement recognizes that the protection of human life and health can be justified through the adoption of import restrictions in the Andean Community. This paper analyzes the suitability between the national measure adopted and the objective pursued. The quantitative restrictions introduced by Ecuador to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases to protect human health and their justification in the light of the Cartagena Agreement are used as a case study. The paper argues that the analysis of an import restriction adopted to protect human health does not only require a quantitative assessment of thevcontribution of the restriction to achieve the desired objective; namely, that the sector or activity that causes the problem is the most significant. A qualitative approach is necessary.

El tema de la protección del conocimiento tradicional (CT) contra el uso no autorizado por parte de terceros y sin la debida compensación para los pueblos indígenas ha dado lugar a un arduo debate en el seno de las organizaciones internacionales tales como la Organización Mundial de la Propiedad Intelectual (OMPI), la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC), así como en el marco del Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica (CDB). Una de las propuestas que han sido presentadas y debatidas para otorgar tal protección ha sido la creación de bases de datos del CT. Esta iniciativa de documentación del CT ha dado origen a una interesante discusión sobre su eficacia y posibles limitaciones, revelando las tensiones existentes entre los Estados y sus diferentes puntos de vista en torno a su utilización como medio de protección.

The Andean Court of Justice (ACJ) considered Article 34 Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) as a supplementary source of law to interpret the principle of free movement of goods in the Andean Community (CAN). The Cartagena Agreement does not provide for the concept of measure of equivalent effect to quantitative restrictions. The objective of this article is to analyze the implications of employing the TFEU as a supplementary source of law and the regulatory capacity of the Member States of the CAN. It is argued that considering the TFEU as a supplementary source of law to interpret the principle of free movement of goods in the CAN facilitated the extensive interpretation of the Cartagena Agreement with the risk of reducing state regulatory capacity.

The objective of this article is to analyze why non-binding measures taken by States may be challenged to determine non-compliance with the provisions of international trade agreements. This research reviewed the decisions of the dispute settlement bodies of three trade agreements: the Andean Community, the World Trade Organization and the European Union. It is argued that in the field of international trade, the content, characteristics and role of non-binding measures are assessed to analyze their incompatibility with international standards and determine non-compliance of States.

La negociación de los Tratados de Libre Comercio (TLCs) entre los Miembros de la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) se ha incrementado en las últimas décadas.1 Se observa con frecuencia que estos TLCs están incorporando una disposición titulada “relación con otros acuerdos internacionales”. El objetivo de esta clase de normas es especificar el estatus legal del TLC en relación con otros acuerdos internacionales, entre ellos, la OMC. En dichos acuerdos internacionales las partes han adquirido derechos y asumido obligaciones que eventualmente podrían entrar en conflicto con las disposiciones de un TLC u otro acuerdo comercial del cual también dichos países participan.
