ARGENTINA & URUGUAY: Closer to negotiations over pulp mill?
Uruguay's President Tabaré Vázquez has accepted a requirement from the Argentine government for future negotiations over the pulp-mill dispute: he agreed not to construct any new pulp mills along the banks of the Uruguay River. Vázquez's acceptance of this demand seems to indicate that the two countries are closer to resuming negotiations over the acrimonious issue. Representatives from the two governments will hold talks at the end of February or the beginning of March in Madrid, according to Juan Antonio Yáñez-Barnuevo, the ambassador for the Spanish Crown who is acting as a mediator in the dispute.
