3:40 pm
it's a particular -- patricician mechanism which is much more on the state side -- in order to protect much more in fact the interest of the states he says so when i'm when i'm hearing that -- this disambiguation mechanism is not good for state then it's justt good for the multinationals companies it's i would say i could not understand that so the fears of french farmers that may be slightly misplaced and are you saying this is a way to say help say that the french. state to the other ease states combat the likes of for the big companies such as gogoogle facebookok apppple people like t or old very big companies in the food -- i rio so -- in fact yes i'm saying that to their reserve fia which is quite artificial to me becauause there is no there y re year another. another protection for a fulull file n news for a for the e. u. regulation for people in consumer in the u. so there is
3:41 pm
no fee to have against canada. why because -- there is a specifific optical i have hehere trees and the the the the seat that treaty but it's more than two thousand pages so what i should i use an ice on the top.. side of it but they're using these industry t. about to get off to kilill which is the artie eight point. nine in which day reserve a kinda for exemption for the states to regulate step in fact all of the economy news such as the protection of public health safety environment. public morals social consumer protection protection also of cultural diversity diversity so as you can see there is a specific sector away on the state's can regulate themselves. and and the the the private companies cannot susue them. in those particular sector even the stateses our elected to have
3:42 pm
enacted some some lows in regulation in order to protectt the people to protect jack a good tool to protect. the car to hidede they vessey tn the un food sector -- for example a private company can that sued the states -- in order to say well it's it's a it's a discrepancies in in the in the in the the the the free competition it's not possiblee. so the arbitration is quite well balanced. and even more balanced in the five all of the state so there is really no fear to have with the system which is a system which is working which is leon and which is. just so french farmers can. perhaps take heart in what's happening and have a little bit of faith louis thank youou for e today for explaining to them what is a complex and is difficult yeah it's very lucky. but no you did a really great job of getetting through -- what this is about the arbitration process that could be available that a white maybe people when they see these things fear these things wraps they shouldn't? have to do that thank you so much that's louis goes like up to national a lawyer and arbitrator joining us here live from france twenty four thank
