Abstract: The article discusses the impacts the unification of EC markets from 1993 mayhave upon Brazilian manufactured exports. Although the focus falls on the impact of Europe-92, the analysis also encompasses the effects of the broader process of expansion ofthe European economic space, with the formation of the European Economic Zone (EEZ),between the EC and EFTA, as well as EC’s inevitable integration with Eastern Europe. Themain finding is that the reduction of NBTs stemming both from Europe-92 and the formationof the EEZ will have a net positive effect on Brazilian manufactured exports. However,it is also argued that Brazil is threatened both by indirect effects derived from some aspectsof policy harmonization, as well as by the possibility of being discriminated against by morefavoured EC partners of the ACP and the periphery of Europe. JEL Classification: F15; F14.
