So there is a clause prohibiting any trade agreement with members of the “Five Eyes” and so I would make sure that Argentina and Venezuela would not oppose.

Ummmm so yeah....

Well here is an intelligent comment that makes sense in English:

Brazil's economic model peters out and suddenly it realises that Argentina and Venezuela are nothing more than parasites holding Brazil back from actually growing. Seems the EU will help with that much needed growth. And China. And the US.

Watch the free trade agreements roll.

I live in Uruguay and am sick and fed up with the children of Brazil and The Dark Country screwing everything up whilst they make vacuous statements to the opposite.

Stop pissing about with the losers in Mercosur and do the deal! That is of course if the EU still want it.

whether you like it or not, and nobody really gives a f*ck what you think, the idiots in the Federal Government have realized that Mercosur is a dead duck, and if they want to increase Brazil's revenue with the much needed dollars, to balance their foreign trade account, they are going to have to either change the Mercosur rules, or abandon it to its own fate...

This will be a talkfest that will get nowhere fast.
The question remains though what can these South American countries export that is worth buying, the answer may be very little more from what is currently sold.
P.S. What is between your ears Brasshole, sawdust or hot air?

Well, Argentina already has been ignoring Mercosur rules for over a decade. Brazil has. Such tremendous potential and with benifit greatly by signing trade agreements outside Mercosur.
