A. Tiny little lonia block the signing of the Free Trade Agreement with canada thanks to paul men yet its minister president. 3. 5000000 loons blocked a treaty concerning 500000000 europeans a smooth european entity defines the great liberal euro its truly david against goliath who want to. Be a pretty. Good move us face that want to get us tried to figure from where we differ. Is good or bad fairhope theres not is what we do you believe will be a set of incentives or an argument. Just pick too quick i dont see or be arsed of a desire because prevail john want to sign it just when i want. Sources on those im going to join it is only. Just sit exam on that exam i was going to see it out chris said dont fix it its all there are. Very good in your hope in. This will be done. To attract Foreign Investors youre a promise canada that it would integrate the International Arbitration system called. Into the treaty. The cornerstone of the system is the deterrent effect for states when a complaint is made. Womens state nationalized is a business it sees as property and the state then compensates for this expropriation. But if the state raises the minimum wage or passes an. All or prohibits disruptors it can affect a companys gains. This is an indirect expose creation since its a loss of earnings. Sufficient ground for assuming a state before a private International Arbitration tribunals. Are dramatic. Effect of the. Reforms. Are. A real scandal. This interactive creation written into the sea to and other treaties opens up a real pandoras box. Complaints against government measures that bother investors are likely to increase. Arbitration tribunals are a massive deterrent. To the state. It is a commute so small as you that it is that actually they have to. See their let me get these and he sort of again is the glue that is assume he drew to hide behind this we dont seem to get this because i didnt suit you get you know the gong annual routine assume that. If you dont get one more skivvies dispenses you get a conspiracy chief. That you have that capacity can have this ad that can lead to out. If it disappears if i happen to hit you about this youll see dumont new news i want to take him on this will only hope soon that hes doing that gift. By example. Which was this was you know if you know that is to simply deal with it pointedly she says were going to hold you in was that they give us clues that one wont again you. Dont look you know dog to defeat most of the case you dont even have one and if it disappears youve got to hand you more this will be in steve and you could even if you need no token so matter of one example if you can do it it will be. Stupid or he can do some stronger dont move on from this is you give him on if him and i saw most of us a betrayal to the richness of our desire to presell and to be see how he does it it would seem to make its move to check our visit to see me. There out of the range of a massive expansion of the role of our investor. 2 so what happens when we introduce a couple of the new traders like santa and the other big one as the Transpacific Partnership promoters are biased as have a lot of like to say well we already have 2 or 3000. 00 of these trainees whats a couple more attempts at combine with a save. Takes us from still having a lead or a role in the world of a colleague and i stop. Global institution why the Foreign Investors have their most powerful rights at the International Level of any private charter in the world most people think about trade they think about goods and services being a strange between countries and the investment component the investor chopped or a trade agreement is about something very different is about establishing a special system of International Protection for foreign assets. That is the season is the postman. The cool it could be no leak key over who lap even the thoughts on foot length if you know is he going to use it that is the still missing c. Xenia do you see to it you know he can see it and if it evokes it think it is the city but the folks who would want. And will exist to commit that we will have all the most success out of leverage on the level of people. Really done on just a simple quote david gergen this is dont predict. Level whats going to secure it its time ive got to live in west you know and i think that that in 12 hour delay when i was saw something pretty neat and you move. The vision. I let it go and the real piece im what you could be the. Defense minister of no hands in a composite a strong consumer they put out is what i dont what they are only for. Goodness ive been thinking im going to have also now to kill. In these arbitration. Multinationals impose their will most often in great secrecy. Secrecy is not only an obstacle in forming citizens it is the keystone of the whole system. Knowing for the most shameful arrangements. This is what happened in germany when the swedish multinational vattenfall a large Energy Producer indirectly attacked the city of hamburg in 2009. Plan to get the federal state that remained secret for years and was unveiled thanks to a professor of International Law marcus kind of. Tradition are secret because no one prevents the parties from the goes if anything and then in the public hearing they will say whatever they say but the real negotiations will take place outside. In 2007 vattenfall obtained a Building Permit for a coal fired power station in the suburbs of hamburg. Following the 2008 elections and to petition the elected green party review the permit. The discharge of hot water into the elbe to cool turbines threatens the aquatic fauna vattenfall would have to comply with Energy Pollution measures. And how did vattenfall react by immediately filing a complaint before an arbitration tribunals demanding 1400000000 euros in compensation under pressure germany secretly negotiated with wagner fall into 2011 and suddenly one day the case was closed we only know at the end that they reached the said i listen this is very important the only publicly available information is that they settled and of the store data much scrutinize the. Tribunals decision. It mentions a mysterious compromise between vattenfall and hamburg signed in a local court. And so thats when i said well if they reached a settlement in front of the rest accord and have them this is a piece of information that i can request and the federal government refused. But the city of hamburg sent it to. The city gave a new permit which is less restrictive than the op thats the 2nd. Button flooded one bunny button 5 wanted a change in the prompt and thats what they got. As unbelievable as it may sound green party didnt impose the Environmental Standards that it considered just. I can just imagine the conversation that took place between the federal government of germany and the city of hamburg so the federal government said well look we signed this 50 we are bound by this internationally germany has International Obligations and you have to fulfill that we cant you cannot become a break International Law i mean this is also a powerful argument especially in democracies especially in countries like germany but all over the world. Even germany is caught in the trap of its treaties and gives in to blackmail. In total secrecy the state signed an agreement on march 11th 2011. That same day japan suffered the worst earthquake in its history. The fukushima disaster shook the planet and especially germany. By a 50 year old Anti Nuclear Movement and following protests in 450 cities across the country under the merkel was compounds who lacked. She moved to abandon Nuclear Power with maturity supposed. Plans and then. To me. In. The name. On easy kinda can in any. Event. You know that counted. In the. Award. So to put it on the chinese for the history oh yeah it was only as a name for almost any of the almost normal fall short. Of the news is so cheap that both of you saw. The point was to be used to move the book or the Scottish Government those that would use oh please the police is removed by the open media of course free. The world is driven by dreamers shaped by one person their spread. Their dares thinks. We dare to ask. People. To chancellors decision became the 13th amendment of the law on Atomic Energy when it was voted in 4 months later. The 7 oldest german plants were immediately closed among them those the boones bottle and trouble which also belong to the swedish multinational vattenfall. Immediately vattenfall challenge the legitimacy of the nuclear long. At the Constitutional Court of. The highest court of justice in germany. The foreign investor. Also a tad germany in a private arbitration court. It had already won once it could and would try again in may 2012. In arbitration. The trial takes place in washington although it essentially concerns. In. A rb slashed. In a mental between. A b. Claimants and the federal republic of germany respondents in the interest of transparency this hearing is being streamed so that the public. Sentiment is about. To greet. The arbitrator. And conrad defends those of germany compensation claims 4700000000 euros. As a consequence of the 13th amendment claimants lost their production licenses for the criminal plant and for the. Plant they were simply withdraw. To dispute. His right as such to face off. Rather this dispute concerns the manner in which germany has chosen to implement its decision. And its failure to probe to protect claimants investments in particular concerns germanys failure to pay. Any compensation i dont. Know the harken so most in this protection treaties is to provide protection against expropriation. Difficulty however when we talk about indirect expropriation is to draw the line between expropriation on the one. And legitimate government who measures on the other. And there is no easy way to draw this line to make this distinction. So of course one could say that the protection that investors enjoy under the treaty is influence how and what the state regulates. Doesnt matter if a parliament has adopted it nor in the most democratic way. It can still violate international purgation stuff the state has undertaken in the international treaty. Or goes to it is for each individual state to decide whether or not they want to sign such treaties germany is trying to do in this arbitration is tricks ploy to fukushima disaster. To create a narrative that would excuse its wrongdoing. You can put perfume on it but the bottom line here is that the international and the governed this dispute. Germany cannot challenge the ratified treaty. But the swedish giant failed to meet its obligations. It did not repaired its damaged power plants a great danger for the population. Claimants now see compensation for their own business failure billions for plans which were not tarrie all their problems but apparently in. Reality a burning transfer meter is totally normal as are. Busting pipes also normal and soon of us are corroded barrels with radioactive waste. Shown your promotional video off the criminal power plant in that video none of the events that are listed here on the slide feature and plans but both of them have been standing still. Not because of focus shima not because of the moratorium not because of the 13th amendment but because of a multitude of incidents. Brew to come to least. Open the defeat of congress for good. Kind smigel a Nuclear Physicist from greenpeace called as an Expert Witness took a close look at all the plans failures. And here experience as an example of digital not exactly saying most of the user doctor d will emerge. Over the cadence of the defeat of. In trade in history of p. Business throughout the ship so i fully clued the comment in this machine transform our toes to dollars even move. The machine transform our the how to see on the military in. Any begin this is an enormous amount mustnt. Talk to those guns because after going. Through route orders had so few remaining of. The ground became seems unlikely feel to link the mainstream yet its possible she only looked around me in the week. This coming which was from calls so if we were in the if this were in support go through it. Thus germany is in famine toward descriptions of fires quote unquote and pictures of corroded barrels quote unquote country but nothing to the ultimate determination as to whether in 2011 germany has admitted in this over trade that its decision to accelerate the face up was not based on concerns over safety of the Nuclear Power. But america on an alleged change perception of the general risk that Nuclear Energy poses to the german population that is all politics. That involves lawyer is sheltering behind the law behind strict legal language is not to recognize the multinationals responsibility. What is very clear that this group of people or many of them have been educated in a particular way they are all educated in this particular way of looking at both International Law as sort of a technical matter and at the same time thinking that giving companies as many rights and privileges will benefit the Global Economy so lawyers are not trained in thinking about consequences of their cases lawyers are trained in thinking about it by the law. There is only a french for this and the french term is the. This is what this really applies people think in the very very this case is very controversial and has generated much public debate now why is because its an arbitration which should never have been brought under the Energy Charter treaty and under the exit convention. The reason for this through the amendment. Action. That is correct. If that is a public perception. How would that legally translate into. The investment protection. During the show i make a number of assumptions and i dont ask you to do anything but sure that this would be because it is almost impossible hypothetical because you are. Assuming that the public is wrong and has the right wrong the perception changes in the public how does that translate into legally introduce you to. And i was listening to the. Opening this morning. Claiming that the 13th and was a political decision and ive said it quite often i wonder when political has become such a dirty word. It comes from the greek political us which means relating to the people to the citizens to the state. And democracy is nothing if not political it is government off the people by the people for the people. It has to be political thats a definition and its certainly not a dirty word. Refusing any political or democratic consideration multinationals consider themselves outside politics and above the law. Laws still exist. While vattenfall the trial against germany is proceeding in washington the federal Constitutional Court in karlsruhe where the 1st complaint was launched give this judgement. The Court Declares that abandoning Nuclear Power. Informs to the german constitution and that the companies affected will have to receive a financial compensation. If i come off to come to your room and when it is its great to survive on trade schools farm and appear your shots entrepreneur come and talk to also. Of us from here good to even also song on commision seems to be least industrial in the tradition for the. Feet along and give you an indoor foster mom thats involved in guns on a 2nd scout also came and was going to move i just feel even uses funds often. Between visa and. A ticket only to be. Given a for. It as he said it was cured and. Thus must confide in east insurance he says there should be 5 it need this communion and this was stopped so long it can also be humbled to be in a key concern in love as has the haste and ease and extended sheets given just just one more 20. Years to shop and such for the woman. So in 1000005 congressional committees all have. A nice weeks in the few commas you can be out in the oil or. It is up to the German Government to set the amount of compensation to be validated by the bundestag. In an arbitration case its very different. The amount of compensation is much higher and is set arbitrarily by business. Lawyers that with no democratic legitimacy. A considerable portion of legal costs 4. 00 to 10000000. 00 is to be paid primarily by the state. Ag one listen we or 2 of. Those that vaccines have to be acceptable to the corporation before they are broke down in a society because if then walks acceptable there is a real risk undermining faith in the vaccination system. And i think governments are under such pressure to introduce a vaccine that is really that good the willingness to consult and to ensure acceptability or somehow to new growth or. Problem drugs dont always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the United States we see me very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids opioids invaded america under the banner of medicine persisted with the pain but instead of trying to wean him off though she did go separate dose after dose after dose and really became his drug dealer so whos to blame patients doctors manufacturers all the governments of.
