First Mercosur test for Uruguay´s free trade agreement negotiations with China
Uruguay and Argentina, and their cabinets will be meeting this Monday in Buenos Aires to address a bilateral agenda, which was agreed long before hand, but the real issue will not necessarily be trade, dredging canals, pulp mills, customs or facilitating people's movement, but rather the negotiations for a free trade agreement which supposedly Uruguay is about to begin discussing with China.

Why do you expect Mercosur to be run worse than the EU anyway? Sounds like you're admitting that European politicians and bureaucrats are more competent.
@ chronic
You'd better hope this is the golden age and not just the beginning.
lol.

It's kind of like a deal involving a (you insert one: a SA'r, NZ'r, OZ'r or Canuck) - you never know if they are going to show up with their money on the appointed day.
It can be a date certain - six months or even six years out - but you can never be certain about the cash materializing.
Never heard more “dog ate my homework” bs from a bunch than these.
The chinese are starting to exhibit a bit of this same type of behavior too.
We already have enough Chin-crap on the Uyu market and I cannot see how a “free trade agreement” is going to increase exports to China over what Uyu provides so far, namely meat and their products.
Oct 26th, 2016 - 11:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0Uyu has no industry other than the Glock assembly line which is starting to supply the SA market in a very limited way.
The industry it DID have - Ford engines (for SA)), Chery vehicles (ditto), etc. have all gone, killed by the government taxes and commie unions trying to bleed them out. Chery NEVER made their agreed (with government and the commie unions) minimum production targets.
The Broad Fraud are always announcing this, that and the other, to 'raise the country up'. In more than five and a half years I have yet to see ANY success.
They are however VERY good at allowing street muggings, house invasions, murderers, rapists, drug dealing and judges to jail police who shoot these perpetrators to flourish.
No wonder they held back the latest crime figures until they were forced to publish them - there is an order of magnitude increase in one year alone. According to the judges it's not the poor boy's fault! You couldn't make this shit up.
