TY - GEN AU - Flôres Jr., Renato G. TI - The Entrance to the European Union of 10 New Countries: Consequences for the Relations with MERCOSUR PY - 2011 Y1 - 2011/02/11 DO - 10.18235/0008678 AB - The impact of the May 2004 enlargement is not, in overall terms, something to worry MERCOSUR decision makers and economic agents. However, this globally non-menacing picture raises, at a closer look, a few concerns demanding pre-emptive policy measures. We shall separate the concerns into five categories, close to the project¿s main questions: concerning the impact of the enlargement on the European (15) market; concerning MERCOSUR gains in the enlarged European market; concerning the new entrants gains in the MERCOSUR market; concerning the effects on the "agricultural knot"; the enlargement and distorting effects of the EU-MERCOSUR agreement.
