It demonstrates that MERCOSUR regulations early defined non-tariff barriers as illegitimate instruments in the integration process, but because of the lack of effective regional mechanisms to deal with them, they became ordinary.

Este artículo aborda las restricciones no arancelarias como problema constante en la agenda del MERCOSUR. Analiza la propia definición de “restricción” o “barrera” a nivel internacional, observando que dificulta su identificación y genera discusiones sobre su legitimidad, dos problemas que enfrentó la normativa del proceso de integración. En este marco, el artículo da cuenta de los principales conflictos surgidos a raíz de restricciones no arancelarias aplicadas por Argentina contra la importación de Brasil durante diez años. Evidencia que si tempranamente la normativa del MERCOSUR definió las restricciones como instrumentos ilegítimos en el proceso de integración, el escaso avance que hubo en el establecimiento de instrumentos regionales para abordarlas hizo que las restricciones se fueran naturalizando como parte del proceso. La insatisfacción tanto con los mecanismos de consultas regionales como con el sistema de solución de controversias hizo que la mayoría de aquellos conflictos fueran negociados de manera bilateral, perpetuándose un círculo vicioso entre la debilidad de aquellos instrumentos normativos regionales y la preferencia de los líderes nacionales por negociar las restricciones a nivel político.
