Mercosur inaugurated its new parliamentary body on Thursday in Brazil, fulfilling a plan set forth at a December 2004 presidential summit among the member-nations. The first official session of the Mercosur Parliament will be held on March 2007 in Montevideo, where it will be seated. A transitional phase, during which each member-nation will have 18 representatives elected by their national legislatures in the Parliament, will last until 2010. The goal of this phase is to draft an operational agenda toward the long-term goal of integrative legislation for Mercosur nations.
