Europe Latin America Bi-regional network

The Europe-Latin America and Caribbean bi-regional network “Enlazando Alternativas” (Linking Alternatives) was formed in 2004 as a result of a growing awareness that the neoliberal policies and trade agenda of the European Union (EU) is being led by powerful transnational corporations and that the EU's objective is to ensure its countries unrestricted access to Latin American and Caribbean markets.

The formation of this bi-regional network also reflects the need for Latin American and European civil societies to increase resistance to the the European trade agenda, to the transnational companies (TNCs) based in the European Union and to international 'free' trade policies.
