The Andean Community in Motion:

This report reviews the evolution of the Andean Community in the 1990s. The Andean Group metamorphosed into the Andean Community in June 1997 when the Cartagena Agreement, signed in 1969, was modified by the Trujillo Protocol. The new protocol introduced some important changes in the institutional framework of the Andean Group. Modeled on the European Community, the Andean institutions have traditionally been highly developed. Many of these institutions have supranational powers, which sets the Andean Community apart from other Latin American trade and integration agreements.
