The head of the Argentine Industrial Union (UIA), José Ignacio de Mendiguren said on Thursday that the complaints from Brazil over the Argentine import restrictions are “unjustified”.
“The current figures of both countries joint business dictate that the tenor of the statements made by Brazilian Industry and Foreign Trade Minister Fernando Pimentel are totally unjustified”, said the lobbyist.
Likewise, de Mendiguren remembered that “for the past 80 months, Brazil has had a positive trade balance with Argentina”, and added, “Brazil’s exports to Argentina increased by 25% during the last period”.
