Pending final approval at the present time, Bolivia, Chile, and Mexico are associate members of Mercosur.
Mercosur was set up in March 1991 by Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay under the Treaty of Asuncion. The 1994 Treaty of Ouro Preto gave the body a wider international status and formalised a customs union. Brazil and Argentina are Mercosur's economic giants. Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru are associate members; they can join free-trade agreements but remain outside the bloc's customs union. Moves to include Chile as a full member were suspended after Santiago signed a free-trade deal with the US in 2002. Mercosur tariff policies regulate imports and exports and the bloc can arbitrate in trade disputes among its members. In the longer term, Mercosur aims to create a continent-wide free-trade area, and the creation of a Mercosur development bank has been mooted. from: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5195834.stm more info on the above website
