    What you say makes about as much sense as “Why can a German get help abroad from a Spanish embassy, but they won’t care about a guy from Brazil”. The reason is that the Brazilian is not a EU citizen: For the purposes of the rights of the individual the EU is not a confederation but a federation, acting as if it were a single country.

    Also, Mercosur does the same so taking Brazil as an example might not’ve been the wisest choice.
