Abstract
As part of a competitive environment increasingly widespread, under
which anticompetitive conducts, with a public or private source, are able
to impact the markets in locations beyond state borders where they have
been generated; this work expounds the basic characteristics of state aids,
because of the skills these have been shown to distort the competitive
environment. Explaining also, the importance of structuring an internal
antitrust regulatory framework, and a supranational one, which in use
of tools, as Free Trade Agreements, discipline the exercise that closer
partners can give to these kinds of aids. Using the international precedents
that link together countries which recently have strengthened trade
ties with Colombia, this work refers to solutions that were raised to curb
state subsidies on bilateral relationships that tie up those members, and
suggests similar bounds to adhere to the agreements signed between
Colombia and those major economies.
