m.NAFTA, North American Free Trade Agreement.* * *SM ABR= Tratado de Libre Comercio NAFTA* * *( Com) (= Tratado de Libre Comercio) FTA* * *TLC nm (abrev de Tratado de Libre Comercio)[en general] free trade agreement; [NAFTA] NAFTATLCThe best known TLC (“Tratado de Libre Comercio” or “Free Trade Agreement”) in the Western hemisphere is the NAFTA agreement – also known as the TLCAN (“Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte”) in Spanish – between the USA, Mexico and Canada, which came into force in January 1994. However, the number of such agreements is growing. For example, Mexico has separate agreements with the EU, Nicaragua, Chile and Israel, among others, while Chile in turn also has agreements with the EU, Korea and with the USA. There are also other regional economic organizations such as CAN (“Comunidad Andina de Naciones” or “Andean Community”) and Mercosur (“Mercado Común del Sur” or “Southern Common Market”). The economic and social effects of such agreements are likely to remain controversial, and it is not clear how they would relate to the “Área de Libre Comercio de las Américas” or ALCA (“Free Trade Area of the Americas” or FTAA), which has been proposed by the United States. This US-backed initiative would eventually lead to the economic integration of the entire hemisphere, but although negotiations have been going on for several years, ALCA has yet to be established, partly because of disagreements between countries about how to proceed, and partly because of popular opposition within countries.* * *m abr (= Tratado de Libre Comercio) NAFTA (= North American Free Trade Agreement) -
12 privacy policy
E-comthe means by which an organization reassures customers that personal information they supply—usually over the Internet—will be securely protected, and used only for the stated purpose.Most customers are willing to give personal information if they know that it will benefit them. However, privacy is a major concern on the Internet, and needs to be addressed comprehensively. The use of customer information is legislated separately by individual countries, and collecting it and—in particular—moving it between countries can be very complicated, because different countries have different laws.However, a basic principle is for an organization to tell the individual clearly why it is collecting the information, and what that information will be used for. If the organization wishes to use the information for other purposes, such as sending out e-mails on special offers, or sharing with partners, the individual should be specifically informed of that intention, and given the opportunity to opt out.It is good policy for organizations to allow individuals to check the information held on them, and to delete information if they wish to do so. A proper security procedure is essential. Internet security breaches are increasing, and hackers are particularly interested in breaking into systems that contain personal information. -
