press this is a small city it's a kind of provinces but that's all this is. when you know a bit further about it's brussels is really the place. this is where the business is taking place this is where legislation is dealt i think there with the figure is around eighty percent of all it just places which are. touching direct life of european citizens is actually initiated here just. did you look at plus you epicenter of political power in europe you see the european commission on the one side next to the council of the e.u. . and all around that's where you find lobby officers most of them belong to big.

multinational corporations you find them also in all of the side streets all over to the european parliament and beyond. to finance at the lobby headquarters of large corporations who find industry lobby groups and their lobby operations being in office traders from offices in that area. two thousand five hundred lobby structures are based in brussels fifteen thousand lobbyists the second biggest industry in the world only washington d.c. is bigger. so that european union legislation is as complicated as it goes through a lot of stages it always starts with the european commission they take. new initiatives for the for legislation for policies and then it goes through the institutions to parliament the council of ministers. and from the moments that the european commission takes its very first steps in developing near this lay tional

new policies industry wants to be there to influence its. ministrations and so we want to have the possibility. to go and work. for the

private sector where i would decide myself. what the way to sell it that much more on. something. then i just other business around the open situation. started. to be lobbyists. you know we. everybody believe the bad. so we'll make those institutions

and institutions in the european union is about the commission the council of ministers and the european parliament but there is also. another world behind that which is how to influence the institutions to make a text to give a good idea to. propose amendments to trying to fine tune the takes depending on the interest of the people when you're to push. lobbying is it was originally in vision is a good thing no lawmaker can be an expert in all the fields where he or she has to deal with and so they rely on other people giving them advice. but lobbying went from their field. of expertise into what is

more properly called hired guns so you now have people who may not be an expert in anything they're dealing with but they're paid for by clients who want them to pursue specific objectives what makes them so effective is many of these hired guns will be what what we call revolving door abusers and these will be people who were in governments then come out of government and are hired by the very same people that had business pending before them when they were in government and the mid ninety's we had come across so many examples of your policies that were basically captured by industry and industry lobbying which felt it was really a fundamental problem here the influence of industries is excessive and we decided to set up a group to document examples and to start developing

a strategy to rollback this excessive influence that's how it started this. one day and then the summer of one thousand nine hundred three i remember a fax came in on a fax machine in the office. and it came from the south of france. from the local environmental group. this group was fighting against a motorway that was planned to go through a valley in the area to live in the valley of us a collage of can you very important to the area a very beautiful area and. the group asked if we knew more about the role of the european union and and specifically the european commission in this motorway project. so we started looking into this we discovered that so. this motorway project was part of something called the trans

european networks. the transfer paean that works was the biggest infrastructure projects in history with the estimated budget of four hundred billion. euro. friends from sweden came up with another of the tales there was an influential lobby group behind this and they asked us you know about a year to the european round table of industrialists. i know. i started digging for more information about the iraqi. i went to our archive and i didn't find anything. i started diving into the alien world of the business press newspapers like the financial times the economist german business newspapers and we found a reference to a new report that had been published shortly before called reshaping europe. but follows a rather interesting and we alter to this reports at the european the round table

at quarters. i wrote on the request mentioning as the purpose of research. i did not believe i would get anything but a few days later a big brown envelope arrived in my letter box. please booklets are inside missing links missing networks and resave in europe. may take the first two publications going through them something strange about them somehow they look so familiar. euro tunnel. scanning. peyronie's corridor. i go to the archive. of. the t. and projects by the commission. compared

. to. what a striking similarity. projects are almost identical. seems to have copy pasted the unity proposals. for something a little extreme cold isn't a chilling threat to life or imminent death it's a cooling if you look you can see that the water in the rates in my body feels really warm now and this is good for you. they plunge into icy water to make

themselves stronger you can't get used to the cold it will but you can tolerate it and you can struggle with. people of snow and ice picks is a frost. having the cold. they've been living this way since the seventeenth century. strict. their communities on the silicon. they clearly distinguish between their own and the alien. and guard their family and faith in the treasure.

these children. they're serving a certain. just like their mother. the ones born in prison. now almost paid for the crimes committed by their parents. kill babies on our teeth. more news today violence is once again flared up. again these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada as true. child operations are on

the day. now i'm really curious reshaping europe. a meeting in dublin has mentioned forty five c.e.o.'s all from multinational companies representing billions of euros of turnover. companies like fiat's the farce british petroleum kirkstall nestlé siemens shell unit lever and many others all of them supporting what is in this book. the all source freeze c.e.o.'s. show or more know their girl in a hummer and this a decker. living in the netherlands i knew this a decker he was the head of philips one of the largest companies in the country. and i was the head of volvo a car producing company. and showman nor was the head of really honest as

a very large french automotive national. so the authors of this report were free c.e.o.'s from some of the biggest companies in europe. it was a political manifesto written by these industry leaders. oh it was a stunning was that these days free c.e.o.'s would would sit down and actually write. a report that was a detail set of recommendations for how to change the face of europe.

for. an experience. i finished my job in the commission in april nineteenth one thousand. and ninety cited that may be suppressed place is actually where the money is so i went to the open banking federation. and i started to be open just. used to be i have worked a. long time nine years in the open banking for duration and i started also to discover. an additional work to europe which was. international trade. the illegal. everything. going your

read on. what you see you know our industries and yeah i mean if you obviously need to have a lot of contacts you probably find the figure of five hundred person which i will keep in mind. you that you gave up to thirty for a commitment. i mean my job i describe it as a network as a fascinating time as an ambassador and from want to be an ambassador you have to know who you have to talk. to i can say that i would present around eighty percent of all services exports and investments. as a turnover. let's say a fifty percent of the g.d.p. of european union. i don't really believe in to. it's

part of it but most of the time you will provoke a chance and then it's going to be up to you to see the open. when chatting. in december one thousand nine hundred three the n.-g. o. network i work for had its annual meeting and the meeting was to take place in brussels. we were very impressed by what we had found out about a year t. and its influence that time there were no academic studies to show that anything about the power of these large multinational companies on the policies. we decided that this was the perfect opportunity to call for attention on the role of the unity. well we brainstormed about what to do and we decided to do something a little provoking. the night before we were at a press release and in the early morning we went to the ear to the office. one of

us rang the doorbell and told the secretary that's here's a student looking for some documents and when the door opened we all ran up the stairs quickly and we all managed to get into the office that way. i remember very well i was at some meat chain in the morning so i think it was mid morning i came into the office and found banners hanging around the office and lots of strange faces around so i said what's what's happening will somebody please tell me what's going on and they said oh we've come to occupy your building and. possibly they want to do a confrontation possibly they wanted me to ring up the police and have the police come in through the mail but. didn't seem to be a good idea at all indeed finally some reason but we had an office lunch so i took

everybody my people out to lunch and left them there. we were surprised by the reaction that we got from the sea they went off into a room and talked about it apparently and decided to leave. and what we did was using the your t. is priceless we faxed the press release to the international media. we expected that's the occupation of this very shadowy able to very powerful business lobby group which really interested media. so things went a little bit differently. i think we talked to one newspaper and there was a radio program that was interested before the rest it was silent. and we didn't know when the t.v. stuff would come back. but that's all the tables that were position papers and reports lying around but it was also a very neatly organized archive everything sort it's. so we

decided to move to be fast and copy as much as possible. in those documents where letters from the year two and two months from the year two to european governments and to the european commission and i would responses. and it really showed the degree of access that they had an incredible emotional ends and it was clear from those documents. when we tracked back the history of that your team we found that the start in the early days. from the commission. the the member of the commission who was really keen was a man called a belgian called steve. he had diplomatic business background and

he could see the need he said if i want to talk to european industry who do i talk to. but i found out the commissioner for industry the insufficient gone in with the commission. the economy grow. richer existed and with the fed. issues of interest i would say i know for sure that but not at the level of the. responsible for individual business and i felt that we were missing. and so we decided to set up a group of industrious rich or be cared vidyarthi so as to have the capacity to listen to the c.e.o.'s. there were and yelling who run fear finished in a booth with

a deck or who ran philips in the netherlands. whose pair gillan how to run volvo in sweden people from siemens and the big german chemical companies the french spaniards then the british. small number of people who ran. the biggest companies in europe were ready to talk about big policy issues with those people who were in charge of the european government. and then when they meet. a visionary president of the commission write the role they find dillo is thinking in entirely the same tone. so why don't they get together and pull their ideas that's a breakthrough read. and

a fast that's probably a good a good way to put me as a description not being is the only way is. understood as a bit of a dirty word but it's just networking just contact between human beings. and we're going to make up the word. it is very small actually as a people we have to reach out actually at the end of the day it's becoming smaller and smaller if you know the right person actually you know it's going to be about a hundred person keep us and the rest. moving around in brussels talking about. the crazed companies are global. and therefore the american companies the chinese companies the engine companies the time when these companies are actually my my allies we're working together for the same purpose

which is to open up the market. one thousand nine hundred three was the year when the european union was born. to us and have been sold as a political project. of these letters that we had found in december point is in a totally different direction. again a master plan behind it's. like with a t. and projects. written by the ear to. prefer the ear tea and the european commission were meeting on a regular basis. in. turn

was amazingly jovial and informal. all that went on in complete secrecy. your t. and the european commission work hand in hand. and nine hundred eighty four missing links was published and immediately after the european commission set up a working group with the iraqi on exactly this topic generally in one thousand nine hundred. this is seal phillips presents his europe in one thousand nine hundred and his action plan for the single market. is later chuck lorre new president of the european commission gives a speech about the single market in the european parliament which sounds like the echo of decker speech to me. in june one thousand nine hundred five more coal fields vice president of the commission published a famous single market white paper a copy paste of the. his

power was the envy of ambrose he had good reason to trust no one. his body was found on the floor of his huge empty house. but did he die of

natural causes. the mystery of stalin's death penalty. victims multiply here each day. it's very profitable to invest in colombia with the very profit on it is a very high return on investment. is good though i mean he has said that i've been working in this area for thirty years and i've always had to play the armed groups and they have made it better than other managers have changed their name and strategy of british to still the same murderous. high ranking suspects give no

comment pretty upset about that mr president. to president putin. but that. i won't give an interview i'm sorry but no. investigation is a dead. end he says sick and stop your bullshit and keep quiet or else you'll suffer the consequences. even if they're your bodyguards to watch themselves because the same goes for them. blood returns from sick i've never heard of such a case as ours where so much money and gold has stolen so many. for all the gold in colombia on our t.v. . i've.

been. ill. and. live. in. egypt sports by deadly riots for a sixth day with the de.
