Zero tariff for Uruguay, Paraguay


Major commodities in the export supply of Uruguay and Paraguay will enter Venezuela with zero-tariff, upon the enforcement of Venezuela's Adhesion Protocol to Mercosur expected to be signed Tuesday in Caracas, with the participation of the heads of the bloc member states.

The Protocol has a schedule including two listings of goods -one for Uruguay and another for Paraguay. Such items "will get the benefit of tariff immediate remission," Minister of Trade and Integration Gustávo Márquez confirmed during an interview with state TV channel VTV.

"This is a token of Venezuela to acknowledge that the principle of asymmetries among our nations should be enforced indeed," he pointed out.

Márquez conceded unbalances within the integration system, some of them punctual, and recommended partners to follow the example of the European Union, where countries such as Spain and Portugal receive a treatment similar to super powers Germany and France.
