Mercosur Parliament (Parlasul) integrants approved on Monday (07), in Montevideo, Uruguay, a proposal that recommends an environment area creation to the Common Market Council (CMC) in the region known as Triple Border, located among Brazil, Argentina e Paraguay.

The Proposal Rapporteur will be the Brazilian delegation president at the collegiate, Deputy José Paulo Tóffano (PV-SP). The text needs to get CMC’s endorsement to be, next, voted by each one of participant countries Parliaments.

According to the proposal, which has come up at Committee on Infrastructure of Parlasul, the Triple Border must be preserved because it encompasses a high biodiversity ecosystem that has been suffering from city growth and deforestation for plantation and hydroelectric plant implantation, like the one in Itaipu.

The recommendation tries to reinforce environment preservation efforts that those countries have been making individually at the present.

Fight against dengue
Parlasul also approved a recommendation in order CMC plan integrate actions to dengue fighting. The Proposal provides cooperation mechanism adoption among the border countries, according to health surveillance measures defended by Pan-American Health Organization.
