It is important to remind that Venezuela is found in an adaptation process of its local legislation into the communitarian regulations of South American Common Market (MERCOSUR), however, the Latin-American Association of Integration (ALADI), permits sceneries to subscribe bilateral or multilateral agreements on those items negotiated in the context of (MERCOSUR). As main objectives proposed are to identify regulatory elements that have incidence in the compliance of rules of origin in automotive sector in MERCOSUR, check the behavior of international trade of vehicles with Argentina and Brazil during the period 2002 - 2012 and comparative study of the Complementary Economic Agreement Nº 14 and Nº 59.
