"Brazil’s existing tariff barriers complicate promised negotiations on a free-trade agreement with Mexico and there is no date to start formal talks, said Mexico’s undersecretary of industry and commerce, Lorenza Martinez. “What is the most difficult part is to solve the known tariff barriers that Brazil has,” Lorenza Martinez said in an interview at the Mexican embassy yesterday in Tokyo. “It is more difficult to do business in Brazil than in Mexico. It has a more complicated system to operate. That’s the part that makes this agreement a little bit more difficult than others.”
Brazil is Latin America’s largest economy and Mexico, the second biggest, relies on the U.S. to buy about 80 percent of its exports.
"Separately, Mexico hasn’t changed a forecast for the country to create 557,000 new private sector jobs this year as it recovers from the global downturn in 2009, she said. “The recovery has been faster than in previous cycles,” she said, adding that manufacturing firms have led the rebound."
