Read the interview with Vitalino Canas about Fibe:
ConJur — What is Fibe’s purpose and what can be done to achieve the proposed integration?
Vitalino Canas — The Faithful Active Activists Mages and Researchers, Executives, Professionals, Executives, Economics and Ex-Politicians, from Portugal and Other Countries, whose objectives are of interest to Brazil and at the same time publish in Europe the most salient aspects of the economy, knowledge and political, social and cultural life in Brazil. Many of our Brazilian associates live in Portugal or have a very close relationship with Portugal, so our headquarters are in Lisbon, but our perspective covers the whole of Europe.
conjure — Can the entity come to make national legislation or chancelleries to implement its proposals?
Canas — As far as Fibe’s work is concerned, we are getting to know and consolidating, as our guests, collaborators, lecturers, researchers, will think that we are going to make proposals, including laws.
conjure — Will Fibe also work with the business and economic field? What can you be done?
reeds – Yes. As a non-profit civil society entity, Fibe’s focus is on civil society and the role it can play in achieving the goals to which we are also committed. We already have partnerships with course companies and large Brazilian companies in various sectors. We aim to help these business entities and promote in Europe the strength of Brazil in various economic and productive areas, its capacity for innovation and quality. In the new global framework of war in Europe, Brazil’s private economic sector can play an even more relevant role and can help identify opportunities.
conjure — Do you think integration for Mercosur is viable?
reeds — Yes, the processes of integrating economies and models with the capacity to complement each other and of great utility. Although Brazil is already a major economic power, integration into Mercosur will necessarily have many benefits and the expansion of Mercosur will accentuate them. Regional blocs always achieve much more weight at the global level, the sum of the parts that are integrated.
conjure — Is there precedence in the articulation of bilateral or multilateral integration that makes it possible to analyze “Comparative Law” for the FIBE project?
reeds — Today, in sectors, much more than official entities, which have restrictions or are relatively unsuitable to ever-changing circumstances, are non-governmental entities that promote visibility in international relations. Relations between civil societies in different countries through organizations such as Fibe, designed networks that are not within the reach of government agencies.
conjure — Would the possible creation of a common Mercosur currency facilitate trade relations with Europe?
reeds — The creation of a common currency has benefits for the reduction in international trade, because the risks associated with each of the national currencies create conditions for a more generalized international course. To that extent, yes, a single currency would create the best conditions for trade relations with Europe. However, the launch of a currency presupposes a high integration of the economies of the countries that adopt it, under penalty of easily emerging, among them, winners and losers. The strongest and most exporting economies are, in principle, the ones that benefit the most, although in general all can benefit. But if the economies of the economy deepen, these tend to deepen.
