Some pearls from this article:

Lula said:
“We must keep advancing so that Mercosur is something nobody can have doubts about: that we are convinced-friends in the construction of a political, economic, social and cultural block”,

Pepe said:
”The block’s senior members leaders left behind “chauvinism” and “the idea that each of them was the centre of the world” and opted for a full-hearted integration.”

The goal was:
A customs union (announced as achieved at the San Juan summit) which among other things means joint trade, investment and cooperation negotiations with other parties.

An ‘irreversible, undisputed” consolidated integration process.
