Mercosur: Frihandelskurs?

mercosur

Næste år fylder den sydamerikanske handelsblok, Mercosur, 20 år. Kursen har ift andre handelsblokke været pragmatisk og ifølge kritikkere slingrende. Handelsblokken får jævnligt dødsstødet af meningsdannere og visse magthavere.

Alligevel er det verdens tredjestørste handelsblok. Hvilke kurs tager den.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Selv indenfor Brasiliens regeringsrækker er der forbehold ift at lade Mercosur betinge den sydamerikanske gigants økonomi.

EU-forhandlinger om en frihandelsaftale siden 1995 – uden fremskridt og stilstand i seks år frem til Madrid-møde i maj i år.
