Relações comerciais entre Brasil e Mercosul:

Abstract

This work addresses the creation of Mercosur and its importance for member, associate and adhering countries. The search for economic improvements for the countries of the bloc was the justification for the creation of Mercosur, as well as the adoption of a single customs tariff, which may have a zero rate on some products and a partial rate reduction on other products. Within the context of international trade, it is worth noting that transport, one of the most popular logistics operations, operates in the movement and storage of products. The pipeline modal has a low transport cost. The Bolivia-Brazil gas pipeline is responsible for transporting natural gas from Bolivia to Brazil and the supply of natural gas by Bolivia is essential to complete the Brazilian energy matrix and that any changes in both the quantity supplied and the amount charged for the product impact directly to natural gas users, whether companies or end consumers. The general objective of the research is to describe the link between Mercosur and the Bolivia-Brazil gas pipeline, and has specific objectives to describe the process of creating Mercosur and the implementation of the Bolivia-Brazil gas pipeline in Brazilian territory, presenting possible improvements resulting from this implementation.
