    El presente estudio profundiza en las complejas dinámicas de los acuerdos comerciales de nueva generación en el contexto de la Unión Europea. Con un enfoque marcadamente jurídico, sin ignorar la dimensión política de esta materia, busca ofrecer una comprensión global del procedimiento de celebración de acuerdos comerciales y destacar la evolución hacia una mayor democratización en el ámbito de las relaciones comerciales de la UE. Para ello, se centra en la intervención del Parlamento Europeo en las diversas etapas del proceso de celebración de los acuerdos comerciales y abarca tanto las prerrogativas formales del PE en materia de política comercial —consagradas en los tratados de la UE o aseguradas a través de compromisos interinstitucionales con la Comisión Europea y el Consejo—, como las prácticas informales no codificadas, pero igualmente relevantes, a menudo denominadas “soft power” del PE. Al profundizar en el papel del PE, esta contribución subraya la creciente importancia del principio democrático y de un mayor compromiso político en esta esfera de las relaciones exteriores de la UE.

    This study delves into the intricate dynamics of new generation trade agreements within the European Union (EU) context. Employing a rigorous legal methodology while acknowledging the inherent political aspects, this contribution seeks to offer a comprehensive understanding of the procedures governing the EU’s treaty making process. Central to our analysis is the evolution towards enhanced democratization in the EU’s trade relations and the core focus of this study lies in an examination of the European Parliament’s (EP) intervention throughout the various stages of the EU’s process for concluding new generation trade agreements. Our investigation encompasses not only the formal prerogatives of the EP in trade policy, as enshrined in treaties or secured through interinstitutional commitments with the European Commission and the Council but also delves into the less codified, yet influential, informal practices often referred to as the “soft power” of the EP. By meticulously examining the role of the EP, this contribution sheds light on the growing prominence of the democratic principle and increased political engagement in this area of the EU’s external relations.
