Sammenfattende kan det siges, at EU har store muligheder i Sydamerika. Måske i direkte konkurrence med USA og uden at gentage amerikanernes fejl, amerikanerne, som man tit i de forløbne årtier med rette har bebrejdet, at de for ofte har forsvaret rent magtpolitiske interesser i forbindelserne til landene i Sydamerika uden at tage hensyn til den pågældende demokratiske udvikling dér.
In short, the EU has good prospects with South America, perhaps in direct competition with the United States, though without repeating the mistakes made by the Americans who have justifiably in past decades repeatedly been accused in their relations with South American countries of too often purely defending the interests of power politics regardless of current democratic developments.
