Logik for burhøns.....
(Battery hen's logic)
Half of EU member states do not want any trade agreement with Mercosur. Who would want a trade agreement with a group largely run by past and current terrorists and including rogue states. And what price a trade agreement when the majority of European consumers don't want the sub-standard contaminated products of South America. Buy it, pay for it and then throw it away when you realise your consumers don't want it makes no sense.

The UK's credit rating has been cut by the Dagong rating agency of China.
The agency blamed the UK's sluggish growth, which it said would be stuck in the 1.3%-1.5% range for two more years, hurting government finances.

So let me quote another paragraph from it, “In contrast, Dragons ratings are not widely relied upon by investors outside china.” Well their we go then, next please.
Think about this, if murcosur wants an agreement with the EU, and Brazil wants, then murcosur becomes responsible for delivering its end of the bargin, including Argentina as it’s a member.
