You should understand the dipspeak. This was an Uruguayan delegation not a Mercosur one. Uruguay is happy to trade with anyone,but we are a very small sliver of cheese sandwiched between Brazil and Argentina

RedPoll- only hope is for Ur and Brazil to do their own seperate deal with the EU- The EU will never be likley to get invloved with the corrupt shambles across the river from Monte- nor with chubby chavy up north.

@5 The commandante parachutist colonel Chavez will rig the election but in the faint possibility that he doesnt win, will Venezuela be ejected by his pals in mercosur? Interesting

@6: I wouldn't at all be surprised if they all kicked Venezuela out stating they didn't recognise the validity of the poll bla bla bla but of course if Chav-ez did win they'd send congrats and CFK would be there waiting for him in her widow's neglige. “You polled them, now pole me”.

The real problem is Argentina as it is the World's top protectionist country and has more international trade disputes running than any other country in the World.

How on earth can you do business with them?
