The organization mandates the lowering of tariffs and other trade barriers, with an eye toward eventually eliminating restrictions on the movement of capital, labor, and goods and services. It aims to increase trade by and between countries in South America; critics in the United States and elsewhere worry that it will prevent the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas from coming to fruition. See also: Free trade, Gaucho.
