Mercosur -- the Southern Common Market -- is a regional trade agreement in South America among Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. With its member countries covering over 12 million square kilometers and a market of more than 263 million people, Mercosur is a major trading bloc in the global economy, accounting for three-fourths of the economic activity in South America.
