STORYLINE:

The EU and the Andean Community agreed on Saturday on a framework for an agreement that would knock down some commercial barriers -
despite deep disagreements on free trade within the South American bloc's members.

Peruvian President Alan Garcia said leaders will hold a fourth and final round of talks June 12 on the deal between the Andean Community and its
largest commercial partner after the United States.

Details were not released.

The preliminary agreement was reached a day after European, Latin American and Caribbean leaders pledged to fight poverty, global warming and high food prices in a biennial summit.

Participants in the main summit said in a declaration late on Friday that the deal will take into account disagreements both between and within the two
regions.

Andean community member nations Peru and Colombia both favour more open commerce, while Ecuador and Bolivia oppose free trade deals.

Meanwhile, numerous bilateral encounters took place on Saturday morning as heads of state, ministers and high ranking officials who stayed after the closure of the Lima summit seized the opportunity to meet and discuss issues of interest.


"At this summit, it was very satisfactory to receive the full support of the European Commission and the European Council," he added.
