Argentina offers to help Uruguay relocate pulp mills

now, HERE'S something you don't see every day... usually it's just banging the table and making threats...
Argentina has told Uruguay that it is ready to finance or seek funds to cover part of the cost of a would-be relocation of two pulp mills under construction in Uruguay that Argentina claims will contaminate its waters.

The non-official proposal to relocate the plants was confirmed by two high-ranking sources in the Argentine government who said that Uruguay had not yet given a response, state-run news agency Télam said.

The cost of relocating the factories under construction in Fray Bentos is estimated at 10-14 million dollars.

well, how 'bout that... offering up something constructive... how novel...!
