ARGENTINA-URUGUAY: Seven year dispute ends
On 28 July the long-running dispute between Argentina and Uruguay
over the environmental impact of a paper mill owned by the Finnish company UPM
(formerly Botnia) on the banks of the River Uruguay appeared to reach
resolution. Environmental activists in the Argentine border town of
Gualeguaychú, who have long protested against the mill, were disappointed and
claimed that the official agreement did not go far enough in monitoring the
activities of the mill. Argentina's foreign minister Héctor Timerman has called
on the protestors to end their opposition, saying on 9 August that “there is
nothing left to resolve" between the two governments.
