    “Argentines should look more to what they are doing. Debora is demanding too much and she likes to play the cry-baby part

    “”Skaf who added that some Brazilian imports have been waiting access to the Argentine market for “over ten months”. “”

    If the world treated argentina the way argentina treats the world they wouldn't be crying ... they would be squealing like a cat getting a*** f****d

    Clear evidence, if more were needed, that Mercosur is not ready for a free trade agreement with the EU.

    One must wonder if this Argentinean lady actually believes her own rhetoric.
    The sound-bites resonates for home-conumption in an election year, but makes fluid trade with the world an increasingly distant proposition.
    What we want is 'grease on the axles', not 'sugar in the petrol tank'.

    #3 Mercosur is NOT ready;
    it needs a framework comparable to, and compatible with, those elsewhere in the world;
    one that the constituent nations believe in and to which they adhere.

    “Argentina is capable of sitting at the table to negotiate and make the exact same demands other countries are making: to have trade agreements that produce benefits on both sides of the border”

    “Argentina will not be engaged in any negotiations that could effectively leave a single Argentine citizen without a job and will not allow local small or medium sized business to decrease their growth”

    A slight contradiction Giorgi? stupid cow.

    @ 6 “brazil calls you cry babies” You need glasses, because Paulo Skaf said the word “choradeira” not “cry-baby”. It's not Brazil calling Argentine people cry babies, that expression doesn't even exist in Brazil, they speak Portuguese not English, it's Paulo Skaf talking about Debora Giorgi and I don't think Paulo Skaf is Brazil. Just the idea of Brazil and Argentina doing well as good partners makes your *rse cry like a little girl briton.

    “Presidente da Fiesp, Paulo Skaf, acredita que a crise das relações comerciais entre Brasil e Argentina não passa de “choradeira” de Débora Giorgi, a ministra da Indústria do país.”

    I hope this leaders realize they are dealing with people who will eventually see whom they will blame for the outcome of whatever deals they make, I for one don't think we need to beg any country who is not willing to put aside their contract outline to deal with the human factor, can we see who of this two sides are pushing the papers and who is standing for the people ?? it's not hard to see...in any case if it bothers the brits soo much to bring them here we must be doing something right, I think Libya was on the right track untill Gaddafi open the doors to the pirats. has anyone being bleeding in the middle of a school of piranas while swiming in an amazon river ?? that's right you haven't, that's why you are here alive and ticking, well that is exacly how hard it is to survive in a table of first world nations, where they are all competing for resources, this kind of multinational public relations is helthy for both Brazil and Argentina to promote ethics, morals and a healthy social standards and to stablish a code of conduct within a political and beaurocratic framework, the private industry should reframe from trying to control public affairs and start exploiting any oportunity avaliable.

    The difference being, is that Brazil is pushing the boundaries, and putting brazil first,
    whereas Argentina is blocking the boundaries and looking after number one,,Christina .
