EU - Chile

After 2 years of talks, the EU and Chile concluded negotiations on 26 April 2002 for an EU-Chile Association Agreement. The Agreement covers all aspects of the EU’s trade relations with Chile, in addition to an enhanced framework for political dialogue and co-operation in mutual areas of interest. The agreement provides liberalisation for all industrial goods, and liberalisation of over 90% of the two sides’ agricultural, processed agricultural and fishery products.

The EU is Chile’s principal trading partner and foreign investor. This Agreement should help to consolidate that position.

More information on the EU-Chile relationship can be found on the European Commission's  external relations  website pages  (see external links on right).
