Latin American Integration Association, Spanish Asociación Latinoamericana de
Integración (ALADI), organization that was established by the Treaty of Montevideo
(August 1980) and became operational in March 1981. Original members were
Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay,
and Venezuela. . In 1969 the deadline was extended until 1980, at which time the plan
was scrapped and the new organization, LAIA, created by the Treaty of Montevideo.
Cuba joined in 1999
Objectives
The development of the integration process developed within the framework of the
ALADI aims at promoting the harmonious and balanced socio-economic development of
the region, and its long-term objective is the gradual and progressive establishment of a
Latin-American Common Market.
The ALADI promotes the establishment of an area of economic preferences within the
region, in order to create a Latin-American common market, through three mechanisms:
A Regional Tariff Preference applied to goods from the member countries
compared to tariffs in-force for third countries.
Regional Scope Agreements, those in which all member countries participate.
Partial Scope Agreements, those wherein two or more countries of the area
participate.
The Relatively Less Economically Developed Countries of the region (Bolivia,
Ecuador and Paraguay) benefit from a preferential system, through the lists of markets
opening offered by the countries in favor of the Relatively Less Economically Developed
Countries; special programs of cooperation (business rounds, pre-investment, financing,
technological support); and countervailing measures in favor of the land-locked
countries, the full participation of such countries in the integration process is sought.
The ALADI includes in its legal structure the strongest sub-regional, plurilateral and
bilateral integration agreements arising in growing numbers in the continent. As a result,
the ALADI – as an institutional and legal framework or “umbrella” of the regional
integration- develops actions in order to support and foster these efforts for the
progressive establishment of a common economic space.
