“Mujica's seduction policy towards the administration of president Cristina Fernandez was rather spastic in achievements, with a long collection of affronts from the arrogant leader next door.”

”Historically EU has always stood by Paraguay

its only been around for abt 70 years,
and even then as a C/M
historically inaccurate then.
Argentina dragging down MercoSur as always.
Feb 17th, 2015 - 08:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Very simply, agreements are already being concluded with individual nations such as ours, and EU member states.
Feb 17th, 2015 - 09:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If Mercosur / Mercosul cannot agree on a common EU policy ( surprise, surprise ), then let them get out of the way for individual nation agreements to continue to flourish.
Frankly the EU-centric free trade and passport zone idea bounced around here in LATAM is not going to work with some countries. Given the current security concern in Europe, even the much heralded the Schengen agreement is being called into question today.
Imagine a truck loaded with contraband, drugs, weapons, etc. here being able to drive unchallenged from Venezuela to Tierra del Fuego.
Absolute nonsense.
a spanner in the works? Industria Argentina
Feb 17th, 2015 - 09:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Let’s not be that naive and think for a moment. It can’t be all Argentina's fault. Brazil has a industrial class that is very alike the Argentine UIA.
Feb 18th, 2015 - 12:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina has foreign reserves barely enough to import a box of toothpicks, its economy is overdue a massive devaluation by 2016, how can a trade agreement with the EU really affect a trade balance of Argentina ?
Do not be silly. The agreement only depends on Europe. End up with restrictions on primary and secondary markets and the free trade agreement will be signed.

Taps start to run dry in Brazil’s largest city
Two politicians from broke Portugal and one from the undemocratic EU version of Italy. Wasn't it just the other day that mercoplop was waiting for the EU? The thing about the EU is that it's a lot like a train. It costs too much, it's always late and it's rarely going where you want it to.
Feb 18th, 2015 - 02:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The UK is now paying more than £55 million PER DAY to 'belong' to the EU dictatorship. Looking through the 'rules', it's difficult to see what a 'member' is allowed to do of its own volition. Looking through the 'rules' of various 'clubs', the norm seems to be that, if you want to leave, end your membership, etc, you tear up your membership card, stop paying your subscription and never go there again. But not with the wonderful EU. Oh no. You have to get every other member to agree, negotiate what will happen to their citizens who entered our country to get benefits they've never paid for and wait for at least 2 years, whilst still paying contributions and abiding by 'their' rules. I don't understand why there has to be a 'rule' in a treaty about leaving. What's wrong with taking the treaty, tearing it into small pieces, saying 'We're out!' and spending more than £55 million a day on something else? More than £20 billion a year. We could buy more than 160 extra Eurofighter Typhoons. Another 6 Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carriers. Navalised Typhoons? More than 50 Type 26 frigates. Another 15 Type 45 destroyers. 4,000 Challenger 2 main battle tanks. The cost of the four brand-new Successor class ballistic missile submarines.
@7. It might get one!
Didn't Argentina usurp a piece of Paraguay?
Feb 18th, 2015 - 03:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A big piece at that.

Feb 18th, 2015 - 04:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They all need to consolidate against Argentina.
