SELA is organizing the “Regional Meeting on regulatory frameworks in subregional integration mechanisms in Latin America and the Caribbean: harmonization and convergence” assess the degree of harmonization of the regulatory frameworks in the major markets within the various integration mechanisms. The achievements made and the challenges faced by the regional blocs to move ahead towards greater integration will also be analysed. This event provides an excellent opportunity to define medium and long term strategies, and to monitor and analyse the impact of institutional changes in the region. In this connection, a document on this topic in the context of the Andean Community (CAN), the Common Market of the South (MERCOSUR), the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), the Central American Integration System (SICA) and the Pacific Alliance (AP) will be submitted for consideration of participants.
