Free Trade Agreements in the Americas and their impacts on the transportation sectors

The integration process discussed in FTAA, Free Trade Area of the Americas, raises a huge expectation for the member countries. The Latin American countries ask if their products will manage to reach the large markets represented by the United States and Canada. At the same time, they ask if they will be able to resist the trade pressure represented by those countries. In the developed countries in the North, the workers ask if their jobs will resist the competition with the poorly paid jobs and work in the South.
