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

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”.
