The delayed Mercosur summit will have to address the EU new foreign aid policy

When Mercosur finally holds its much delayed summit in Venezuela at the end of the month following two postponements (12 December and 17 January), besides its normal agenda of agreements and disagreements, it will have to address a new challenge, this time from the European Union which has redefined its development support policy, leaving all Mercosur members, except Paraguay out of its tariffs and market access benefits.

    I think Argentina is waiting to see if the IMF will believe the new INDEC figures due shortly. If you continue lying no-one is going to believe your word in the future.

    I believe that the biggest loser is Europe itself. Because certainly the Mercosul countries will drive their imports of manufactured products to USA, China, South Korea and Japan. Products that Mercosur exports are basically primary and some industrial products are made by European companies.

    An old saying: They are shooting themselves in the foot.

    Judging by your previous posts using “Brasileiro”, your command of the English language has improved immensely. Perhaps you could let us all know the name of your Professor of English, so that the other posters can get the same advantage.
    Your not “THE BRASILEIRO” that we all love.

    perhaps they thought free really meant free,

    even free trade comes at a price,
    nothing is free nowadays,

    still,
    being the leading economy in south America , and the riches, Argentina will have no problems going it alone,

    @2 Are you “New Brasileiro”, “Middle Shift Brasileiro” or “Fake Brasileiro”? Do you not yet understand that you have nothing we “need”? Little illegitimate mercosur might be “convenient” but it's not essential. Take a look around your little countries. You don't understand real world economics. What do you have that we can't get elsewhere or make ourselves. Stupid little argieland is having a “paddy” over biodiesel. But the European Union is the greatest producer of biodiesel in the world. With France and Germany being the top producers. Who is going to worry about little latam producers? Here's a tip, the United Kingdom has been trading around the world for around a thousand years. We know a bit. Amazingly, our economy is bigger than yours, our per capita GDP is bigger than yours, our expected growth is the highest in the G7. You haven't made it to the G7 yet. You haven't made it to the G8 yet. Just made it to the G20, haven't you?
    Now that you've “improved” your language skills, could you go for intelligence and education?

    #22, Brasileiro, your comments up to here are lamentable. You really ARE a rabid nationalist ....so you think that Argentina and Brazil can afford to throw out export markets because they are doing SO well that they don't need them ?? Just like a.hole Lula in Brazil, whose attempts to increase Brazilian exports were focused on shitty third-world dictatorships that have little or nothing to offer...and to ignore Europe and the US....the name of the game is to trade with those whose reciprocity means something, not the likes of Cuba, Iran, Botswana and a whole lot of other losers.....no country goes forward if they think 'small'....

    Sorry, WTF ??
    What are you talking about??

    You must be responding to a different post or you have switched operators again - you make no sense.

    BTW,
    Portuguese will fade away if your SA neighbours, Spain, or China, have their way.

    You had better assert yourselves and dump Mercosur, they are dragging you down.
    Oh yeah, you can't, the bad-tempered “vieja bruja” of Argentina won't let you.

    Of course, it's just as likely that this “Braziliero” persona is multiple operators controlled by Argentina, anyway.

    I had to run your Portuguese rant through Google Translate, as you can no longer express yourself in English, once again.

    I know that Google is not always accurate.

    Is this a fair translation of your message to the Anglophones??

    “Delete me Mercopress.

    ”I am , worse or equal to one. I am not Brazil. And that's all I wanna be. ”

    Let's all get along well in the South Atlantic, the next time that England down its warships, they will not return to England.

    I'll talk (badly) of England every time I want, when I hate, how I hate. As Mercopress will do what he wants. And I'm here because I hate, anytime I want, how I want.

    Do what you want. I'll always be here to hate, think, and assaulting with my DREAM AMERICA!

    Lets all pretend that the reason for us trolling here in this way is because everyone is against Argentina and we are responding in kind.
    Lets all call everyone those names we learnt in the playground it will upset them.

    Brasiliero got exposed by trying to be too clever and Stevie revealed as scolded acomplixe.

    Posting in Potuguese, against the rules, backfired on them in an embarrassing fashion.

    Meanwhile, Brazil wants to trade with EU, but now more than ever, Argentina will try to hold them back with the policies of Protectionist Mercosur.

    Somehow, I don't think Argentina wants them to trade with the US either - hold Brazil back, at all costs.

    “nonsensical article”

    Please explain why you say that. The article merely lays out the policies of the EU regarding trade.

    The EU gives special concessions for very poor, emerging economies.

    They seem to think that the Mercosur trading bloc is a mature and developed economy, therefore they do not qualify for special treatment.

    Stevie, wtf is yr # 70 about ? monolingualism ??? Listen here you arrogant little prick, I could correspond wth you in spanish or portuguese if those were the rules of the forum, and I'm sure so could many others, but as it is, the official language is English -- if you aren't up to it, best keep your stupid mouth shut. And as they say in Brazil, “you lost a good opportunity to keep your mouth closed”.

    The comment was an English acronym. Hence I said “1 comment”. Not 1 poster.

    How many lessons do I have to teach you? Honestly it's been more than a year and your still learning them the hard way.

    You really need to look up the definition of an acronym as well. Your comment at 91 is quite comical when you think about how much of a fool you just made of yourself. How the hell Heisenbergcontext could be an “Argie acronym” is beyond me. Try looking up the definition of a 'compound word' after you look up acronym. I won't bother telling you about portmanteaus as that concept seems beyond your intellectual capabilities when it comes to my name.

    And supposedly I'm a turnip! PMSL

    But you keep coming back for more. Good to see, though not as much as Stevie's revival. He clearly doesn't operate as well when alone. Weak personalities always operate better when not alone.

    LOL (btw that's an English acronym...... doh btw is an English acronym for by the way, by the way).

    DF! I'll let you riddle the meaning of that acronym. I won't give it away by making it into a compound word but as portmanteaus are beyond your and Stevie's abilities, let's just say that you two make the quite the team of 'ducks'!

    @69 Come on, Jack, think about it. Go back to @52. After 16 comments, it doesn't understand English? So “legends” = “leg ends” = “feets”. I suppose I could have made it more difficult by referring to “feats”.
    @70 What's wrong with monolingualism? You need to understand that we leave translating gibberish and sub-human grunts to experts. This allows proper people time to consider and debate complex issues such as; Did transporting latino scum from Southern Europe to South America turn them into degenerate murderers? Is there a connection between the sub-human population of eastern south america and the salt content of the Atlantic Ocean? It is well-known that ingesting salt water makes one psychopathic. Is there a connection between latam psychosis and the well-known latam propensity for taking it up the arse? Is multilingualism (?) connected to sexual inadequacy?
    @74 You mean that YOU don't understand it. It's beyond you. So why not say so and ask for an explanation? It is widely agreed and accepted that English is the most credible communication medium in the known universe. And you don't understand. But I'll condense it for you. NO MORE PREFERENCES for you. This is the “level playing field”. Get it?
    @83 & 85-89 What is it with you bunch? Turds are useful for growing vegetables, but they aren't essential. You aren't essential. Get used to it. We'll have no real problem picking up the turds, safely, and dropping them back in the local cesspit. You may know this process as “immigration”. In proper countries, it's called sewage disposal.
    @93 “concluded”? Using an English word that doesn't actually make sense? Typical behaviour of a microbe.
    @96 And where have YOU been for a while? Off killing some more indigenous people? Kidnapping anybody and torturing? Getting your arse reamed? More penis stretching to try to reach 2 inches? Meeting Timerman for a fart contest? Thumbing someone's arse for “condiments”? Beating your dick with a matchstick?

    I am also ONE, though I speak with different voices - which is largely down to the single malt and the topic.
    Think believed I almost 'went native' at one stage, but I KNOW that I am internally consistent with a love for the Bahian way of life and South America in general.

    Some play games with multiple personas - perhaps even you - but I find, like Elaine, it is better for me to be straightforward ... y'know, the plain-speakin' Brit.
