The hope is to contribute to the debate about what strategy and predominantly beneficial for the countries: the opening multilateral or regional integration from the point of increasing economic welfare considering the change in the value of tariffs in the year prior to signing the treaty that rise to the MERCOSUR (1993), to the present stage of integration (2009) for various industrial sectors.
