Como a Política Agrícola Comum (PAC) da união europeia afeta a importação de produtos agrícolas provenientes do Brasil? uma análise sobre as trocas bilaterais de soja a partir da parceria estratégica de 2007

Abstract

Brazil and the European Union (EU) have stablished a strategic partnership agreement in 2007 that foresaw, by means of sectoral dialogues, the reinforcement of the bilateral cooperation in terms of political and commercial approach. This monography analyzes if the objectives of the agriculture’s sector dialogue were reached, focusing in the brazilian soybean exports to the european bloc. First, it discusses to what extent the principal lines of the Brazilian Foreign Policy in the period from 2003 to 2010 have influenced the shaping of the partnership, and what is the meaning of the agreement to each partner. The second chapter brings a brief review of the history of the EU and how its institutions work. In the sequence, the third chapter highlights the evolution of the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and how it hampers the concretion of the objectives of the partnership, since it also blocks the imports of brazilian agricultural products to the bloc. The fourth chapter focus on the brazilian soybean exports to the EU, which did not change since the establishment of the partnership. On the other hand, the work witnesses an upward demand of the grain from China, a country that has occupied the strategical place ahead of the EU, as Brazilian agricultural partner.
