		The hi-national and multi-national infrastructural projects linking the countries of Mercosul and the rest of South America are a pole of attraction for investment with the prospect of greater benefits for the countries and consumers of the region.
		Mercosul is not only seeking to become consolidated internally as an economic bloc but is also looking to expand its foreign relations and enhance its importance on the international scene.
		One of the specific effects of the FTAA's negotiations with Mercosul is the decision by the member countries (to avoid the diluting effect) to accelerate accords aimed at deeper forms of integration, exemplified in the agreements reached last December in the services and social welfare area (agreement on social security).

		One of the most worrying and pathetic cases is the case of milk, which is considered by Mercosul a sensitive product and has now an import tariff of 27% for the European milk to enter in Brazil and in Mercosul.
		Mercosul offered preference for the Europeans, in relation to other countries and regions, for public purchases through the mechanism of consultation and transparency.
