Extension of the agreements with Paraguay ang Uruguay

PARTIAL SCOPE AGREEMENTS (AAP)

The Andean Community goal is to make a pact of a free trade area with MERCOSUR.

Brazil offered the CAN to negotiate a 4 to 1 agreement (CAN-BRAZIL) within the next three months, which deadline is June 30, i.e., to finish the Partial Scope Agreements.

Uruguay and Argentina proposed an extension of the bilateral preferences agreements (AAP) with the Andean Community, till the end of 1999.  This means that the Mercosur countries temporarily keep aside from the negotiations with the CAN. 

Due to its politic crisis, Paraguay hasn't declare anything.
