BRASIL: Presidential Candidate Serra Calls Mercosur A "Farce."

MERCOPRESS/      In a speech to businessmen, leading presidential candidate Sao Paulo Governor Jose Serra said “To keep carrying the burden of this Mercosur in its current condition is senseless. The customs’ union is a farce, except when it is used to impede, to block." Serra claims that the group made up of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay “has become a barrier for Brasil to sign trade agreements with other countries”...and is full of “cumbersome procedures”.
