TITLE:Euro and the Financial Relations Between Latin America and Europe: Medium- and Long-term Implications SERIES: The Macro-economy of Development No.: 13 LANGUAGE: E. SALES #: 02.II.G.27 ISBN: 9211213509 SYMBOL: LC/L.1716-P PAGES: 76 PRICE: $10.00 DESCRIPTION: The internationalization of the euro is in its initial stages and it is still difficult to draw any definitive conclusions regarding its scope and its implications for Latin America. The most plausible medium- to long-term international scenario seems to be development of an asymmetrical duopoly between the euro and the dollar. In a context of scant international monetary cooperation, this scenario could lead to high volatility between the two main international currencies, which will be a powerful destabilizing factor for third countries. Together with other factors, the growth of the euro bond market will tend to increase the pressure to widen and deepen the euro financial market and make it more liquid. This should favor the development of better conditions for both European and third-country participants. For Latin America, the sustained increase in the share of euro-denominated international bond issues, chiefly by the public sector, makes it necessary to consider policies for managing the currency composition of the external debt. On the other hand, the consequences of an increasingly bipolar but asymmetrical international monetary system will have to be included in the Latin America national exchange rate policies.

SALES #: 02.III.T.3 ISBN: 9291372145 SYMBOL: ITC/P118.E/TSS/FASS/01-XII PAGES: 252pp. PRICE: $50.00 DESCRIPTION: The Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations significantly reduced tariff barriers to trade. However, exporters continue to face non-tariff barriers in the form of standards, technical regulations, sanitary and phytosanitary measures, and conformity assessment procedures. To meet the requirements these impose and demonstrate compliance with them is a difficult and costly process for exporters in developing countries and transition economies. Many of these countries have not yet been able to take full advantage of the WTO Agreements largely because of a lack of resources. Given this, the International Trade Center has produced this guide providing SME managers in developing countries and transition economies with answers in simple language to their most frequently asked questions on standards and conformity assessment. The questions address issues such as technical regulations and standards, product certification, testing, metrology, quality management, ISO 9000, other management systems, accreditation and the Agreements on TBT and SPS.
