No-one “needs” mercosur. It's a quasi, half-baked, illegitimate organisation prevalent in a criminal area of somewhere.

“Neves and Campos addressed the assembly before Rousseff and both pledged that in case of winning the election they are determined to make 'more flexible' Mercosur rules, so that Brazil can negotiate trade accords with third parties independently from the mandatory consensus needed now from all members””..
If Dilma and Lula weren't so intent of getting into bed with all the shitty little dictators in South America, perhaps Brazil might have already gone ahead and signed a bilateral agreement with Europe.

Possibly Argentina but Brazil certainly isn't a joke. Germany will shortly tell France and Ireland what they have to do. Hungary will do as it pleases.... as always.... and tell the EU where to go. Great Country.

@7, Brazil, the country , is not a joke. The current government definitely is. Besides not knowing what the hell they are doing, their principal objective is to remain in power, at any cost....and that includes trying to transform enough of the population into zombies, dependent on government handouts, thus making them easy to control and at the same time, guaranteeing their voter base. It would be a good idea to not confound the country with its current government.

I suggest Brazil gets out of Mercosur and finds its own path.

@10, agree, but first we've got to get rid of this filthy communist government, otherwise the path will be the same one VZ has gone down...
