(en) Italy, Libertarian Alternative FdCA Fano - TTIP STOP !!
(ca, it) [machine translation]
The signing of the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) between the US, Japan and other 10
countries of the area (excluding China), which took place on October 5 centers one of the
current goals of the international policy of the United States in terms of integration and
commercial freedom to planetary level. ---- The second objective is the signature of Obama
enthusiast TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) with the European Union
to reduce tariff and regulatory barriers that may hinder the freedom of movement of goods
and investment, overwhelming any legislation to protect common goods (natural resources)
and activities of environmental, agricultural, health, energy, social (transport,
communications, education), .... ---- Despite the enthusiasm of Europe can score a certain
cooling (at least in the German government) following the clash over VolksWagen between
the US and Germany, negotiations on TTIP could make progress by incorporating one of the
institutions foreseen by the TPP with extra-territorial powers.
It is the establishment of arbitration courts referred to Investor-State Settlement which
includes magistrates business representatives, representatives of the judiciary and
lawyers expert in international trade.
These courts will monitor and commineranno sanctions on any obstacle placed on the
movement of goods and investments, focusing adjustment and subordination of the laws of
individual countries to the interests of capitalist exploitation in all areas where
dovessere be conflicts and conflicts between multinational and national interests .
Enforcement of this sanctioning power is already in use within the NAFTA (North American
Free Trade Agreement, the treaty between the US, Canada and Mexico stupulato in 1994), as
in the case of the State of Quebec (Canada) brought to trial in early 2015 for having
voted for a moratorium on the extraction of shale gas as dangerous and polluting!
Mutual convenience between the US, EU and individual European governments to sign the TTIP
must still overcome a number of factors of opposition and contrast ranging from European
legislation gained so far in the field of the precautionary principle to national laws for
the protection of goods, resources and local products.
The same movement STOP TTIP has grown strongly over the last two years until the recent
major event in Berlin.
The point is that we can not trust governments (think enthusiast undersecretary TTIP
Calenda in the government Renzi) and magistrates representing the European states and the
EU itself, directly involved in the protection of national and European (if not global as
the FCA Marchionne) the illusion of being able to penetrate a slack US market in terms of
prohibitions and precautions.
We must necessarily mobilize from below all our ability to dynamic contrast, complaints,
counter-folk to fend off what promises to be another dictatorship economics and law on our
lives after the austerity policies of the EU.
Wrong?
