This book invites its readers to cultivate themselves and to analyze the situation of Colombian international trade through the trade agreement with the European Union. The Colombian agricultural sector has taken on the great challenge of internationalization. However, European protectionism has limited this purpose, affecting the behavior of its exports, to the detriment of the country's economic progress. The work is presented as a contribution to the useful and practical knowledge, through: The historical background regarding non-tariff barriers (the basis of European protectionism), the review of the regulations of the EU-Colombia Trade Agreement regarding Colombian agricultural exports and the analysis of export figures to the EU during 2010 to 2015. The above shows an overview of the situation of the Colombian agricultural sector with respect to trade with the European Union as a topic open to discussion. This study reflects one of the achievements of its author, who inspires them with this phrase: "Do not value your life by your goals but by what you are doing to achieve them" (Peter Drucker).
