Mercosur
Mercosur, the Southern Common Market, is a South American trade bloc founded by Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay through the Treaty of Asunción in 1991. It created a customs union with a common external tariff and became the region's largest trading arrangement, with its secretariat in Montevideo, and several neighbouring countries joined as associate members.
