The relations between Bolivia and the EU have been strengthened in recent times and have moved further forward thanks to the cooperation programme dealing with topics such as human rights, freedom of expression,conflict prevention , migration, shared responsibility in the fight against drugs trafficking, terrorism and, particularly, regional integration processes. Europe is the most important investor in Bolivia, and the presence of the EU delegation aimes to create conditions that allow the country to reap the benefits of a smooth flow of trade with Europe. Commercial relations between the EU and Bolivia are regulated under the Sistema de Preferencias Generalizadas Plus (General System of Preferences Plus, SPG+), which enables Bolivia to access the European market at low tariffs. Bolivia is also the main recipient of bilateral aid from the EU for development in Latin America, with a budget of €281 million for the period 2014-2020. |
