Wide of meeting, heads of state clapping\u003cbr/\u003eThe heads of state at the Mercosur trade bloc summit on Tuesday passed a resolution condemning the new European Union (EU) rules on expelling illegal immigrants.\u003cbr/\u003eThe 35th summit of Mercosur was taking place in San Miguel de Tucuman in Argentina.\u003cbr/\u003ePresident of Argentina and host of the meeting, Cristina Fernadez de Kirchner, said that \"in Europe they are... presenting solutions and policies which are truly inadmissible.\"\u003cbr/\u003eVenezuelan President Hugo Chavez accused Europe of taking a page from Washington by adopting a barbaric immigration policy, in stark contrast to moves by South American nations to enable passport-free travel across most of the continent.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The 'civilised Europe' has opened the door to - and also legalised - the barbarity,\" Chavez said at the meeting. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Because this is a true barbarity, something barbarian, something that belongs to the worst times in history where barbarity ruled the world. We should put together possible answers and ask the European government to do some thinking about it,\" he added.  \u003cbr/\u003eWhile the United States and Europe tighten their borders, the South American trade group is encouraging the freer movement of people through ten nations on its continent.\u003cbr/\u003ePassport-free travel is already allowed among Mercosur's full member states of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. The new travel zone includes associate Mercosur members as well, covering all of South America except the Guyanas.\u003cbr/\u003eThe EU rules standardise how illegal immigrants are treated, allowing undocumented migrants to be held for a year and a half in jail before being deported, and banning violators from re-entering Europe for as long as five years.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Mercosur meeting also focused on the global food and energy crisis, noting that member nations have the potential to thrive, since its members include major energy and food exporters.\u003cbr/\u003eBrazil is the world's largest producer of sugar and of cane sugar ethanol, and second in soy. Argentina, also an important soy grower, is the world's second biggest producer of corn and fourth in wheat.\u003cbr/\u003eChavez proposed an emergency fund to promote agricultural development, offering to commit 1 US dollar for each barrel of oil Venezuela exports as long as the prices remains above 100 US dollars a barrel, a level which he did not expect to fall.\u003cbr/\u003eAt that rate, Venezuela's annual contribution could be 920 million US dollars, he said.\u003cbr/\u003eVenezuela has South America's largest reserves: 310 billion barrels of recoverable oil.\u003cbr/\u003eChavez also praised Brazil's sugarcane-based biofuels industry, but not the United States' \"crazy\" use of corn for the fuel.\u003cbr/\u003eSpeaking about biofuel production, Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva told the audience his country was organising an international forum \" to discuss the issue of biofuel and food to find out what is the truth about it.\"\u003cbr/\u003eLula added that \"if anybody convinces me that biofuel is what will cause the problem of hunger in the world I won't exchange my stomach for an oil tank.
