Desde sus vi\u00f1edos a su susceptibilidad a terremotos y su esp\u00edritu emprendedor, Chile es en muchos sentidos la California de Am\u00e9rica del Sur. De modo que no resulta sorprendente que la vista del Presidente Sebasti\u00e1n Pi\u00f1era en septiembre fuera celebrada como la reuni\u00f3n de dos socios estrat\u00e9gicos con mucho que aprender el uno del otro.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">El Plan Chile-California suscrito en el 2008, con el respaldo de AmCham, sent\u00f3 las bases de esta visita y AmCham particip\u00f3 con orgullo en la misi\u00f3n comercial encabezada por el Presidente Pi\u00f1era.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Los ministros de Econom\u00eda, Energ\u00eda, Agricultura y Cultura llevaron con ellos equipos de l\u00edderes de negocios y volvieron al pa\u00eds con acuerdos suscritos, los que con el tiempo deber\u00edan generar mayores oportunidades comerciales.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">La energ\u00eda es un \u00e1rea clave en donde California est\u00e1 a la vanguardia de nuevas tecnolog\u00edas y regulaciones. Como se analiza en el art\u00edculo de la secci\u00f3n Enfoque de esta edici\u00f3n, la experiencia de California en materia de energ\u00eda nuclear y energ\u00eda renovable podr\u00eda ayudar a Chile a satisfacer sus necesidades energ\u00e9ticas sin arriesgarse a sufrir escasez en el futuro o a contaminar el medio ambiente.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Tras su crisis de electricidad entre los a\u00f1os 2000 y 2001, California ha logrado encontrar un equilibrio entre atraer nuevas inversiones y la protecci\u00f3n del medio ambiente. Esta no es una tarea sencilla tal como ha descubierto Chile a medida que intenta reconciliar su necesidad de suministros energ\u00e9ticos de bajo costo y las preocupaciones medioambientales, en especial en lo que se refiere a proyectos de generaci\u00f3n a carb\u00f3n.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">En los \u00faltimos a\u00f1os, una serie de importantes inversiones en proyectos de generaci\u00f3n el\u00e9ctrica han encontrado problemas para recibir aprobaci\u00f3n; algunos en las primeras etapas de su desarrollo, otros cuando el proyecto estaba bien avanzado. Muchos de estos problemas, aunque no todos, han estado relacionados con objeciones medioambientales. Pero el resultado da la impresi\u00f3n de un campo de juego disparejo, que podr\u00eda hacer que los inversionistas lo piensen dos veces antes de comprometerse a invertir en Chile en el futuro.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Esto se ha convertido en una importante preocupaci\u00f3n para la inversi\u00f3n extranjera en Chile y la incertidumbre regulatoria nunca es algo bueno. Chile necesita con urgencia estas inversiones, no s\u00f3lo como parte de su actual recuperaci\u00f3n econ\u00f3mica sino que tambi\u00e9n como parte de un plan de m\u00e1s largo plazo para el crecimiento, el que crear\u00e1 un pa\u00eds mejor y m\u00e1s pr\u00f3spero para todos los chilenos. No obstante, los inversionistas estar\u00e1n reticentes a arriesgar millones de d\u00f3lares si temen que sus proyectos podr\u00edan ser retrasados, modificados o incluso cancelados.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Chile se ha ganado una excelente reputaci\u00f3n debido a las garant\u00edas que ofrece a los inversionistas extranjeros. Ahora, a medida que Chile se acerca a su meta de convertirse en un pa\u00eds desarrollado, debe trabajar arduamente para mantener estas garant\u00edas mientras que al mismo tiempo mejora los est\u00e1ndares ambientales y de seguridad en las industrias de energ\u00eda y miner\u00eda. Esto es exactamente lo que California ha hecho bien a trav\u00e9s de la cooperaci\u00f3n entre los sectores p\u00fablico y privado.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Las empresas y los consumidores en el estado de la Costa Oeste han compartido el costo de regulaciones m\u00e1s estrictas en \u00e1reas como emisiones de carbono, lo que tambi\u00e9n tendr\u00e1 que darse hasta cierto punto en Chile. No obstante, California ha demostrado que los est\u00e1ndares medioambientales de clase mundial y un entorno atractivo para las empresas pueden coexistir.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">En AmCham felicitamos al Presidente Pi\u00f1era y su equipo por su productiva visita a California y estamos comprometidos para trabajar arduamente con el fin de maximizar los beneficios de este viaje para el comercio y el emprendimiento. Tanto Chile como California tienen mucho que ganar a partir de esta alianza estrat\u00e9gica en \u00e1reas que van desde la energ\u00eda hasta la cultura y la agricultura.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Sin embargo, para que Chile materialice su sue\u00f1o de convertirse en un pa\u00eds desarrollado durante la pr\u00f3xima d\u00e9cada, debe mantener una reputaci\u00f3n sobresaliente en materia de inversi\u00f3n extranjera. En AmCham, creemos que esto puede lograrse a trav\u00e9s de la cooperaci\u00f3n p\u00fablico-privada y con el respaldo de socios como California. Desde el Napa Valley al Valle de Casablanca, el Oeste \u00a1realmente es lo mejor!<\/P><!--:--><!--:en--><P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">California \u2013 it\u2019s the place where dreams come true, new beginnings are made and the sun always shines. From its vineyards to its susceptibility to earthquakes and entrepreneurial spirit, Chile is in many ways the California of South America. So it\u2019s not surprising that President Pi\u00f1era\u2019s visit there in September was celebrated as a meeting of two strategic partners with much to learn from each other.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">The Chile-California Strategic Partnership signed in 2008, with the support of AmCham, laid the foundation for this visit, and AmCham was proud to participate in the trade mission led by President Pi\u00f1era.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">The Ministers of Economy, Energy, Agriculture and Culture all took teams of business leaders with them and came back with signed agreements that should generate increased business opportunities down the road.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Energy is a key area where California is in the vanguard of new technologies and regulations. As discussed in the Spotlight, California\u2019s experience with nuclear power and renewable energy could help Chile meet its energy needs without risking shortages in the future or polluting the environment.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">After its electricity crisis of 2000-2001, California has managed to find a balance between attracting new investments and environmental protection. This is not an easy task as Chile has discovered as it tries to reconcile its need for low-cost energy supplies with environmental concerns, especially regarding coal-fired generation projects.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">In the last few years, a number of major investments in power generation projects have run into approval problems; some in the early stages of their development, others when the project is well advanced. Many of these problems, though not all, have been related to environmental objections. But the result gives the impression of an uneven playing field, which may cause investors to think twice before making a commitment to investing in Chile in the future.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">This has become a major concern for foreign investment in Chile, and regulatory uncertainty is never a good thing. Chile badly needs these investments, not just as part of its current economic recovery but as part of a longer term plan for growth which will create a better and more prosperous country for all Chileans. But investors will be reluctant to risk millions of dollars if they fear projects could be delayed, modified, or even cancelled.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Chile has earned an excellent reputation due to the guarantees it offers to foreign investors. Now, as Chile approaches its goal of becoming a developed country, it must work hard to maintain these assurances while at the same time improving environmental and safety standards in the energy and mining industries. This is exactly what California has done well through cooperation between the public and private sectors.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">Companies and consumers in the West Coast state have shared the cost of stricter regulations in areas like carbon emissions, which will also have to happen to some degree in Chile. But California has shown that world-class environmental standards and an attractive environment for business can coexist.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">At AmCham we congratulate President Pi\u00f1era and his team on a productive visit to California and are committed to working hard to maximize the benefits of this trip for trade and entrepreneurship. Both Chile and California have much to gain from this strategic partnership in areas ranging from energy to culture and agriculture.<\/P><br \/>\n<P style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\">But for Chile to realize its dream of becoming a developed country in the next decade, it must maintain its outstanding reputation for foreign investment. At AmCham we believe this can be achieved through public-private cooperation and with the support of partners like California.
