Abstract

The paper evaluates the political and economic incentives to conclude the EU-Mexico Free Trade Agreement (FTA). It discusses EU and Mexican trade policy as well as the multilateral context for FTAs. In addition, using a disaggregated approach at the three-digit Standard International Trade Classification, it identifies the commodities that will be particularly affected by the FTA. The results show that considerable trade effects can be expected in a narrow range of products and that the EU is likely to gain much more than Mexico. In diesem Papier werden die politischen und ökonomischen Anreize zur Vereinbarung des Freihandelsabkommens zwischen der EU und Mexiko bewertet. Dafür werden die europäische und mexikanische Handelspolitik analysiert und der multilaterale Zusammenhang der Bildung von Freihandelsabkommen betrachtet. Darüber hinaus werden die Auswirkungen des Freihandelsabkommens auf der disaggregierten dreistelligen Ebene des internationalen Warenverzeichnisses für den Außenhandel geschätzt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß in einem begrenzten Bereich von Produktgruppen signifikante Handelseffekte zu erwarten sind und daß die EU stärker als Mexiko vom Abkommen profitieren wird.
