Common Markets on the other hand keep import tariffs in place, instead allowing the free movement of labour and capital; this allows member countries to share human resources in order to advance their economies. Lastly Economic Unions allow tariff-free trade between members, free movement of people and goods, but also adopt common policies for all members; these often include environmental or transport policies.…

When it comes to trade,…
