Brazil and the EU want to accelerate the negotiations on a common market between South America (Mercosur) and the European Union, which have been faltering for years, the Swiss website swisscoffel.ch reports.
"I think both parties are very conscious of the importance of such a treat," says Dilma Rousseff. "The advancement of trade will also help advance development and create growth." Without directly mentioning the free trade treaty with the US. Barroso said: "Europe is working on a series of bilateral agreements. It would be a disgrace if we could not have a similar treaty with our friends in Brazil and Mercosur."
