    ''The purpose of the research is to look into the trade background involving the Falklands and the Tierra del Fuego national territory, and establish potentialities for an exchange of goods and services between the Islands and the territory which is now identified as the province of Tierra del Fuego, Antarctica, Malvinas and South Atlantic Islands''

    Ah, they have aspirations...

    Fantasyland! They never met any importers that I know of retail goods or fresh produce!

    How do they propose the Customs paperwork? - Arg Customs and Dept of Agric cannot certify anything from Argentina as passed for Export and compliant with Fal;klands Import requirements - as No Arg Gove Dept would be allowed to do so as that would mean Arg Govt recognizes that Falkland Islands Govt exists and is independent of London in these areas.
    Pure Arg media fantasy

    So is this all a “nice job if you can get it” of these “professionals”? I have pics of the “Rivero Law” being applied with a blockade on UK ships from the Falklands, going on for years.. what trade are these people going to research if it is being blocked by the “primary school brainwashed”, thugs like the ones chasing the BBC journalists making them run for their lives, while in civilized countries, when an Argentine deputy circled England cycling with an Argentine flag on his back defending the Argentine claim and only got a nasty look in Liverpool? There is a long way to go before the primary school false indoctrination is taken out of Argetnina's faulty equations.

    In general most businesses I've come across value stability above pretty much everything except profitability. What sensible business in the Falkland Islands is going to risk established relationships with their existing suppliers and customers for a potential short-term gain that would be more than offset by the possibility (or probability) of sinking their access when the next shower that gets elected in Argentina develops malvinitus again?

    Or is this just the most inept case of industrial espionage that I could possibly conceive of?

    “The project was actually started at the end of 2015 with funds from the University Policies Secretariat ”

    They should ask for a refund.
