Dec 21st, 2011 - 09:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0Ogara- Wh di you think the reference is in there about in conformity with International law/ Tell you why shall I - it neatly allows any mercosur country to allow FI flagged vessels in if it chooses to do so - because refusing to do so would indeed be against Int law - at least 3 UN based ones for a start.
Dec 21st, 2011 - 09:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0I am talking about UN Conventions- NOT non binding stuff from the 24 Committee and GA conferences.
Bored with the shiite (Mercopress - its a religious group - honest) coming out of the south Cone and the Marvinistas.

Dec 21st, 2011 - 10:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0This is not going to have a very big impact on the Falklands!! it is nothing more than a minor inconvenience as very little trade exists between the Falklands and South America!!!!!!
Dec 21st, 2011 - 10:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0Long Live the Falklands.
#5 you already van most Argentine's as well as 90% of the worlds visitors from entering, it's called imigration laws and visa prerequisite.
Dec 21st, 2011 - 11:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0Papamoa: no impact, is ok.
Dec 21st, 2011 - 11:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0I don´t know why the ambassador of UK is complain like a parrot in the Uruguayan embassy ;)
But thing is, more and more countries is support our claim, and more and more believe in our rigths over Malvinas-
First vessels, then war ships, then fligths, then ..... who knows? ONU support maybe ?
No matters what, if you are Malvinense, you are welcome here- we don´t hate you... you are a victime of england policy-
Peace and Regards..... ;)

Dec 21st, 2011 - 11:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0The UK ambassador complained because it is against International law!!!!!
Also the fact that it will not effect trade on the Falklands and will push the Islands further away from SA by these restrictive rules!!!!
Long Live the Falklands.
#15 file a complain with UN and wait as Argentina is being doing for years. there is nothing wrong with inforcing the law of the land.
Dec 21st, 2011 - 11:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0Rosarino, we are not a victim of English policy, we are a victim of Argentine aggression. If you have a problem with the English, then ban their ships, why pick on a country of 3,000 people? Cowards springs to mind...
Dec 21st, 2011 - 11:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0Without doubt, Mujica is not only frightened but also senile. Never mind, Uruguay, you are on our list. we will get around to securing your freedom eventually. Since you are doing nothing to help yourself, even you don't think it's that important. On the other hand, if you were to execute Mujica for treason and get a proper leader with balls...........
Dec 21st, 2011 - 01:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0just prove you are cleverier than they are, change from falklands reg,, to UK reg, and the bann fails, does it not .
Dec 21st, 2011 - 01:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Aren't they just repeating what they've already said, years ago? FI ships were already banned.
Dec 21st, 2011 - 02:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@16 Pie-rat
Dec 21st, 2011 - 02:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You are right there is nothing wrong with enforcing the law ! thats why the UK ambassador is meeting uruguay to formally lodge a complaint!!!!!
Long Live the Falklands.

Dec 21st, 2011 - 04:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What law is papamoa talking about the falklands.island flag has as many countries who recognize its exiatence as Tlon or maybe even Ugbar
Mr. Mujica can be flying without a plane......he hasn´t balls enough to face CFK....or is he receiving some in return?????
Dec 21st, 2011 - 04:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Fortunately, Chile is not entering into that “club”.... we are friends with them but also with others countries, so MERCOSUR ...not so close to be burnt nor too far to be frozen.....
Ah, we acomplish the international laws, so we accept the calls on our ports of any flagged vessels, including the Falklands Islands ones......
@23 CFK is visiting Chile in Jan... guess what issue she´ll be addressing there?
Dec 21st, 2011 - 04:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 024, Mr Pinochet(broke used car salesman) at 23 knows that very well and there isn't anything that he can do.
Dec 21st, 2011 - 05:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Chilean group ‘Solidarity with Malvinas”
“visited this week the Argentine legation in Santiago to meet Ambassador Ginés González Garcia and express their support for Argentina’s claim over the disputed Malvinas and other South Atlantic islands”
Chilean President Piñera a few days ago:
“The position of the Chilean government is clear and firm: we back and support the right of Argentina, on legal and historic reasons, over the Malvinas and other adjoining islands”
Errrr, I thought FI flagged vessels were banned from Uruguay ports. Clearly not this one:

Do you know the difference between?
1, Solidarity
2, allies .
3, and neutrals
I bet if and , when the day comes,
Your so called friends, will choose [3]
What say you, argie bargie
