Relevant information

The Constitution of the Republic of Ecuador provides that the State will have sole control of "strategic" sectors and of the application of selective import substitution, discouraging imports "that adversely affect domestic industry, the natural world or involve an unnecessary outflow of foreign exchange". Strategic sectors are defined as energy in all its forms, telecommunications, non renewable natural resources, transport and refining of hydrocarbons, biodiversity and genetic heritage, the radio spectrum, water, and all other sectors determined as such by law. Additionally, under the trade policy outline provided for in the Constitution, the Ecuadorian State must encourage environmentally responsible exports, preferably those that generate higher employment and value added, especially exports from small and medium sized producers and the crafts sector in particular. The State must encourage imports that are needed in order to attain its development objectives, protect domestic industry, the natural world or public health.
