    “Latin America is heading towards Asia, it is opening to China and India and currently Chile exports more to Asia than to the rest of the world”

    We export so much to Asia because that is where the demand currently is. The Chilean strategy is actually to export to all major economies with the aim of not being overly dependent on any single one. The annual growth forecast has been upgraded again, so we are doing something right.

    “the dominance of Brazil “makes it impossible, or very difficult to integrate among equals”” - absolutely right. Like I have have said, Mercosue has one giant, one dwarf and 3 smurfs. You either have the giant steamrollering the sovereignty of the others or the smurfs throwing a spanner in the ecomonic works of the giant.

    Good image, Condor!
    And with spanners permanently in Brasil's works, the future of the Continent has to shift to Chile, Peru and Colombia.
    ..... a bit like the European spanners in the German works.
    Brasil and Germany will stagger on, encumbered, and will never become the great countries they might have been.

    Aaah, well. I'm using every available route to persuade relevant people to end the EU-mercosur negotiations on an Association Agreement. Do we want argie or venezuelan goods in Europe? Well, now that there seems to be a link between the flesh-eating MRSA bug and the use of antibotics in the LatAm food industry, I think not. And then a “trade agreement” is only one of 3 “pillars”. What are the political and co-operation “pillars” all about? Do we want to see the sort of political activities recently displayed by argieland, brazil, uruguay and venezuela in Europe? Wasn't fiddling the books to let Greece into the EU bad enough? More words to MPs, MEPs, government from as many people as possible. Keep LatAm out of Europe!

    @3, Grow up imbecile.

    @5 Another idiott that also needs grow up. Facts are, Europe is already open to Latin American products and facts are..Europe is sucking up to Latin America to get a free trade agreement what might (higly possible) be a horrible deal for the farmers who cannot compete (even with subsidies).

    imbeciles as you both shows why UK is in decline...to many idiots that troll on the net.
