The European Parliament has passed a resolution condemning a nationalisation that has strained relations between Spain and Argentina.

Quote:
The resolution asks the European Commission to consider a "partial suspension" of tariffs that benefit Argentine exports into the EU.

Great. It's about time Kirchner learned what international political relations is all about. She needs her generously-proportioned rear handed to her on a plate.

Re: Oil - Argentina upping the ante...
Meanwhile my Argentine chum is rather more worried about attacks on the free press in Argentina than viewing this latest action with any credibility.
He insists they are trying to deflect public interest away from corrupt behaviour of the present government and he doesn't believe that once the elections are finished that anything will come of demands for the Falklands.
