Anthony Harrington, American Ambassador in
Brazil
From 1999 through 2001
"Because I departed my post less than a year
ago, the changes have been neither entirely
monumental nor unforeseen. Most prominently
perhaps, Brazil has faced the effects of the severe
economic challenges of neighboring Argentina,
together with an international slow-down. Two
things stand out in this regard: first, Brazil is
weathering the storm better than most observers
anticipated, primarily because Brazil, under
President Cardoso, has already implemented
much of the key reform with which others are
struggling. Secondly, Brazil is uniquely positioned
and well-disposed to play a constructive role in
helping its neighbor through this storm.
Otherwise, I am pleased that Presidents Bush
and Cardoso are off to a positive start in their
relationship, beginning with an early visit in
Washington before I left Brasilia and another good
meeting recently".

Mercosur
Mercosur is by far the most successful in a
long history of attempts to promote economic
integration in South America. It was born out of an
early-Eighties process of détente between Brazil
and Argentina, which during the Seventies had
often suffered from strained relationships between
their respective military governments.
The trade between Mercosur countries and
the rest of the world grew 79% in the period 1990-
98, but over the same time trade between
Mercosur members jumped five-fold, from US$4.1
billion to US$21.4 billion.
Mercosur member countries have said they
plan to strengthen their regional pact as a
precursor to joining with other hemispheric
neighbors in creating a Free Trade Area of the
Americas- FTAA. Pact members have also
declared the intention of negotiating as a bloc with
the European Union.

group of nations, as it is today".

Unhappy families

July 1st, 2004 (Adapted)
The story of Elián González, a small, shipwrecked
Cuban boy who was the center of an international
custody battle in 2000, should have taught that splitting
families makes for bad politics. Apparently, it seems not
to have done.
With his eye on holding Florida in this year's
presidential election, George Bush has tightened the
rules on contacts between Cuban-Americans and their
families back on the island. From June 30th, Cuban-
Americans can make only one two-week visit every
three years, instead of unrestricted annual visits. They
will not be able to send as much money to people on
the island, and none beyond their immediate families.
All humanitarian visits have been scrapped.
Analyze the following alternatives in order to find
the appropriate translation for their underlined
pieces into Portuguese:
