BRAZIL SUPPORTIVE OF MERCOSUR
"AS LONG AS IT DOES NOT TURN INTO A BURDEN"
Brazil is ready to preserve the
advances achieved by Mercosur but as long as the block does not turn into 'a
burden' when it comes to negotiate trade agreements with third parties,
according to Agriculture minister Katia Abreu
“Personally I remain critical of
Mercosur as I was when head of the farmers association simply because Mercosur
does not allow Brazil, or any other member for that matter, to sign agreements
with third parties unless there is a consensus”, said Ms Abreu.
“One of the main tasks of the second
period of President Dilma Rousseff is to widen our commercial horizons for
Brazil's produce and to strengthen our presence in international markets”,
added the powerful agro-business leader.
Even when admitting many advances in
the group which is made up of Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela and
Brazil, “Mercosur must ensure freedom to its members to negotiate with other
parties and must not become a burden”.
Abreu also indicated that it was
necessary to increase cooperation among members to overcome difficulties in
areas such as 'tariffs', and sanitary vigilance so that we can make sure that
South America becomes “a zone free of foot and mouth disease”.
The minister also pointed out that
Brazil will try to increase farm exports to the US, EU, Russia and China, which
are the top markets for the country, but also expand to other areas such as
Asia and Africa.
To that purpose Ms Abreu mentioned
selling fruit to Japan; increasing pork shipments to Korea and beef to Nigeria.
Regarding domestic policy the
minister was confident that the budget cuts being implemented to balance
government accounts won't reach her office.
“What we are trying to cut are
expenses and farming is not an expense, rather one of the best investments for
Brazil”.
Finally Ms Abreu supported the new
taxes on fuel which will favor the sugar industry and the production of ethanol
and bio-fuels. She also anticipated that the government is considering increasing
the percentage content of alcohol in fuel which currently stands at almost 25%.
