EL MARCO LEGAL Y ADMINISTRATIVO DEL COMERCIO EXTERIOR Y LA INVERSl6N PARA LAS EMPRESAS EUROPEAS EN CUBA = The Legal and Administrative Framework for Foreign Trade and Investment By European Companies in Cuba

Abstract

Since Cuba began to decentralize its foreign trade and allow foreign investment, European companies have been its principal economic partner. They provide a large proportion of the products, the financing and the technology which the country requires and generate a very large proportion of the income from exports and tax revenues. Their commitment to the development of the island is a long term one since they wish to continue to help it to integrate itself with the rest of the world and to modernize its system of production. In this commitment and objective, the Embassies of the Member States of the European Union support them as a demonstration of our Government's interest in Cuba and in its future
