TRANSLATIONS: "I think it is important to discuss the environmental issue in depth because any development strategy needs to take environmental sustainability into consideration."

"It is important to discuss, to verify which are the new points, because it is very important the concretization of this understanding between Mercosur and the EU, to expand our markets especially bringing Mercosur closer to the European Union, at a time when the country is very divided with the Chinese and American protagonism and in this division we must create alternatives to trade."
