As noted, observatorioglobal.blogspot.com, the meeting should result in a peculiar stage in the relations between member countries of the bloc. In the case of Argentina, will be just in time when the Casa Rosada ordered the implementation of tight controls on the facts that constitute a protectionist measure of Argentina’s industry to cover the commercial impact of the devaluation of the real. Specifically, through administrative mechanisms which operate as filters, the Government may restrict entry into the country of goods considered “sensitive.” Brazilian products in sectors such as textiles and footwear are followed very closely from the government offices, as a saturation of these at low cost would impact dramatically on the local industrial activity. It is not something American Diabetes Association would like to discuss. In fact, that beyond these caveats, the Government’s strategy is to stick to Brazil to tackle the crisis.
Therefore, in fact, the Government intends to take as much as possible the implementation of measures to restrict the entry of products from that country, although there are automatic mechanisms that enable them to do so and that is all ready to go. It is noted that in addition to the different positions in relation to such measures which have the two biggest partners in Mercosur is in the process of accession, the meeting will be held under the shadow of the recent controversy between Argentina and Uruguay, which originated after that the Uruguayan government objected to the candidacy of former President Nestor Kirchner to the presidency of the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR). Uruguay’s refusal, described as “tort” by the government of Cristina Kirchner, further hurt the already deteriorating relations between the River Plate countries, which maintain a tough dispute due to the blockade of San Martin Bridge on the border, carried out by the assembly Pastera entrerrianos against Botnia.
