Mercosur is being left out of the main global trade flows since it only belongs to 1% of free trade treaties or tariff preference agreements, which actually represent half of world trade, said Uruguay's foreign minister Rodolfo Nin Novoa during a conference on “Education and regional integration”.

What a shame, Urineguay. Have you thought it might be something to do with your 'friends'? Make a list of countries that WANT to trade with argieland or Venecuba. You remember argentina. Thinks everybody owes it a living. Only recognises its own 'laws' when it can be bothered. And then makes up ones to suit. Rarely pays debts. Well known for its colonialist, imperialist policies. Never mind OUR territory. What about your pulp mills? They don't want you to have those, do they? So they pull every dirty trick in the book. And who was it who refused to buy their own currency back after you'd exchanged tourist pesos for your own proper currency? Let's go on. Who's turned a perfectly viable country into something sick where ordinary people have to go without ordinary household items? Who is so looney that he has a new conspiracy every week? Now make a list of people who WANT to travel to the murder capital of the world. Try integrating to the world before you make the leap to trade flows. Now here are some tips. The Falkland Islands are British. Remember that name. Falkland Islands. Let's hear you talking about them instead of that stupid 'M' word. Remember who did a great deal to enable you to be a country? Remember a certain nazi battlecruiser that might have turned your city into rubble? Who was waiting outside respecting your neutrality? Come to think of it, who was fighting so you could sit around on your fat arses? 190 years and you still haven't learned to think for yourselves!

“Half of world trade operates under the umbrella of free trade treaties or tariff preference agreements and Mercosur only participates in 1%”

In 1973 my country changed to embrace a free trade market and has never looked back. Mercosur is a rock around the neck of Uruguay. Brazil for that matter as well.

“No Money Pepe” ysed to moan to the press about Mercosur, forgetting he was one of the problems, together with DumbAss and TMBOA when they screwed Paraguay over.

Even Vasquez will be powerless to charge the existing scheme of things: Brazil and TDC are too scared of their own shadows to go for free trade.

The ideologues communist that took over the organization, and they manage to destroy mercoshiet, the world will go on and mercoshiet should dissolve.
Brazil is not a leader they want to have power but they are clueless on how to act!

Free trade sucks for Argentina. We will never adopt it.
