Since the 1950s, its constructors started to consider the European integration as a model with a potential for being exported to other continents. Community institutions have thus developed an exportation policy of their conceptions and mechanisms, due to technical and financial support from the states desiring to embark on the regional venture. This is precisely the case of Mercosur, established by Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay in 1991. After a long period of negotiations, the Mercosur Parliament was created in 2006. This paper intends to analyse to what extend the European Union have influenced this decision. How was this institutional transfer organized and which are the elements of the European experience effectively kept by the actors involved in the creation of this new assembly? The study will be carried out in order to identify the limits and possibilities of the reproduction of the European model by regional integrations worldwide. Minutes and observation of meetings as well as interviews with members of the European Parliament and the Mercosur Parliament will provide data for the qualitative analysis.< Leer menos
