Análisis jurídico de las medidas de vigilancia aplicadas por el Ecuador en el comercio exterior.

Abstract

Surveillance measures are regulated by supranational and national standards which allow their application. Around this, we will previously address two points that have great relevance to better understand the purpose of it. As a first point, return to some significant concepts that will give rise to a greater understanding of the role of surveillance instruments in the world of foreign trade, because there have been some extensive interpretations of their applicability and the purpose they pursue; since, it is confused that this measure must be given a place within the trade defense mechanisms but which in turn are not part of them, because they only seek sustenance so that these mechanisms are applied with credibility. In the background, the obvious and unproposed problem will be addressed, which is that this surveillance measure that is to “monitor imports” is rather indirectly “restricting imports”, since ineffective and impeding barriers are placed that hinder the process. Likewise, we will indicate how is the process of importing a product under surveillance and where it has been introduced with a high degree of importance within it; and, we will indicate the time intervals that are carried out for the approval of the surveillance document which authorizes the importation.
