    No, I don't see it. Most of the time they leave us alone and give us many money from the oil and industry revenues. It's quite a good relationship.

    I hear not just europeans love our fish but also China, Pakistan and India wich are far more mouth to feed then in europe, I hear there is even an island of UK pirats trying to build their own country by exploiting the wealth from the Argentine sea, I think it's great that all surplus fish will help aliviate the hunger in many nations that continue to be part of international social unrest..

    Argentina Sea: large body of water that covers the coast of Argentina and surrounds the Islands know as Malvinas.
    FYI Papamoa, one of the few cities that eat considerable amounts of seafood is Ushuaia. The rest of the country eats meats, vegetables and such. We export most of our fish.

    I will like to ask the british illegal alien Cheryl Roberts if there are any cattle herds left by the Argentine governor luis Vernet in Islas Malvinas Argentina back in 1822 ?? with this I really mean to ask him if he thinks taking care of fish is like cattle ranching, because to this day Argentina still make their daily bread from old style cattle ranching, if it wasn't for soy we would still be cattle ranching, unfortunatelly for the fakland island company the cattle wasn't enught, the sheeps wool costed them the erotion of the land, and fishing piracy is turning out to be a world competition wich will eventually erode the value of their lot, oil production will eventually destroy the fishing industry as BP done in USA and Mexico, my advise to him is get an Argentine passport and demand CGT to protect the fishing industry, other then that he is wasting space.
    #8 will you mind telling us how is EU doing this morning ?? we send all our condolences and hope they soon get better. in regards to the squid I don't even know why people would even eat such a creature, it taste terrible. Argentina just can't turn a blind eye to profits to be made in the indutry brought to south america by EU wich they are all proud to rub on Argentina's face whenever convenient, I think it's time for the worlds imperialists and capitalists to get on grip on relity, equality can be cruels to those acostumed to abundance, the limits on resources don't usually follow a particular policy but quite the oposite, the problem evolving from a WTO and IMF consept is that local policy designed to manage local resources are being dictated by instruments far away from where this policy are being inforced to manage resources. Argentina has a lot of experience dealing with social unrest as history can show us, the real questions is UK ready for social unrest or rather can UK prevent it ?? let me share an important eye opener with you, if you want to know where the fire is, just follow the smoke signal.
