1:33 pm
a complaint is made. women's state nationalized as a business it seizes property and the state then compensates for this expropriation . but if the state raises the minimum wage. law or prohibits destructors it can affect a company's gains. this is an indirect expose creation since it's a loss of earnings. sufficient ground for suing a state before a private international arbitration tribunals. remember. that at that our. problems. are. not.

partnership promoters are biased as have a lot of like to say well we already have 2 or $3000.00 of these trainees what's a couple more attempts at combined with a saved game takes us from still having a minority role in the world to be calming stablished lobel is. why the foreign investors have their most powerful right at the international level of a private charter in the world most people think about trade they think about goods and services being. changed between countries and the vast control of the investor chopper of a trade agreement is about something very different it's about establishing a special system of international protection for foreign assets. people. say that is the season is the postman. the cool it could be

1:38 pm
also not at all. in these arbitration type of you know 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 allowing for the most shameful the arrangements. for this is what happened in germany when the swedish multinational vattenfall a large energy producer indirectly attacked the city of ham. in 2009. plan to get the federal state that remained secret for years and was unveiled thanks to a professor of international law marcus kai of. every tradition are secret because no one prevents the parties from the gosia to
1:39 pm
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 and the 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 intil
1:40 pm
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 said that 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 that's what i said if they reached a settlement from the call. heard in a number of 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 all that's the. buttons for did one only buttons i wanted
1:41 pm
a change in the product and that's what they got. as unbelievable as it may sound hundreds of green party didn't 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 ficci we are bound by this internationally germany has international obligations and you have to fulfill that we can't 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.
1:42 pm
that same day japan suffered the worst earthquake in its history. the fukushima disaster shook the planet and especially germany. pressured by a 50 year old anti nuclear movement and following protests in 450 cities across the country under the. compounds who act. she moved to abandon nuclear power with maturity suppose. anything planned and then i could. see bob and i inched it to me. in.
1:43 pm
the name. on easy kinda cannon and. it. was bending consequences. and. one thing you know that counted. in the. media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. isolation community. are you going the right way or are you being
1:44 pm
led. away. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us in the depths. or remain in the shallows. during the great depression which you must remember that it was most my family. it was bit. you know much worse objectively. but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america was shaped by the 10 principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy
1:45 pm
attack so loadout engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to no on. one set of rules for the rich. that's what happens when you put her into the hands of. sector of wilf which is dedicated to increasing power for just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. and the united states presidential candidates debate the future of the us and the world. max kaiser and stacy her but dig into the burning questions of this election cycle. every week. tax student debt trade was money universal basic income and mo catch up with what's front running this
1:46 pm
sunday exclusively on r.t. . the chancellor's 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. which also belong to the swedish multinational vattenfall. immediately vattenfall challenge the legitimacy of the nuclear law at the constitutional court of karlsruhe the highest court of justice in germany. but as a foreign investor vattenfall can also a tad germany in a private arbitration court. it had already won
1:47 pm
once it could and would try again in may 2012 it filed a new complaint in arbitration. the child takes place in washington although it essentially concerns europe. good morning gentlemen i'll bring. in. a rb shlash 12th rushed. in a matter of a tree and fall be claim and the federal republic of germany response in the interest of transparency is being streamed so that the public. versus state sentiment is about. to greet. its presenter this spring. the arbitrator is.
1:48 pm
there defends the interests. and sabina conrad defends those of germany compensation claims for poinsettia. 1000000000 year. as a consequence of the 13th amendment claimants lost their production licenses for the criminal plant and for the and the plant there was simply withdrawn. the dispute does not concern germany's right as such face of nuclear energy rather this dispute concerns the manner in which germany has chosen implemented solution and its failure to probe to protect claimants investments in particular concerns jim his failure to pay any compensation at all. the heart and so most in those protection treaties is to provide protection against expropriation. the difficulty however when we talk about indirect expropriation is to draw the
1:49 pm
line between expropriation on the one and legitimate governmental measures on the other. and there is no easy way to draw these lines and make this distinction. so of course one could say that the protection that in the esters enjoy under the treaty is could influence how and walked the state regulates. doesn't matter if a paul of a has adopted a law in the most democratic way. it can still violate international big ations that the state has undertaken in the international treaty. it is for each individual state to decide whether or not they want to sign such treaties germany is trying to do just arbitration is tricks to fukushima disaster. to create a narrative that would excuse its wrongdoing. you can put perfume on it but the
1:50 pm
bottom line here is that the international and the government these disputes. legally germany cannot challenge the ratified treaty. but the swedish giant failed to meet its obligations. it did not repair its damaged power plants a great danger for the population. claimants now see compensation for their own business failure billions for plants which were not tarrie is all their problems but apparently in. reality a burning transfer meter is totally normal as are bursting pipes also normal involved and soon of us are corroded barrels with radioactive waste. to follow have shown you a promotional video off the criminal power plant in that video none of the events that are listed here on the slide feature and both of them have been standing still
1:51 pm
. not because of. not because of the moratorium not because of the 13th amendment but because of a multitude of incidents. over the defeat of. a nuclear physicist from greenpeace called as an expert witness took a close look at all the plans failures. expiate and. i did lose any say in most. 'd cases we just feel of. a trade in history can be used in a few. clues. on. machine transform our doors to.
1:52 pm
the machines from our the how to. it was. early to be in. any begin this isn't in the old. guns it is after going. to hoot. it's a. gun it came from a live feed to link to me it is possible she only looked in the. disco which was for sale of wouldn't it if this were an infant book all 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 but its decision to
1:53 pm
accelerate to phase out was not based on concerns over safety of the nuclear power plants but mariner 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 recognise the multi-nationals 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 changed in
1:54 pm
thinking about the consequences of their cases lawyers are trained in thinking about a lie apply the law. there is only a french. it is and the french term is that. so this is what this really apply is you people think very very this case is very controversial and has generated much public debate now why is that because it's an arbitration which should never have been brought under the energy charter treaty and under the exit convention. the reason for it through the amendment. was different. actually and you are correct. that is correct. if that is a public perception. how would that do legally transferred into. the 1st one protection order to c.t. . if you are sure i make
1:55 pm
a number of assumptions i don't ask you to do anything but should not do this would be because it is almost impossible hypothetical because you are. assuming that the public is wrong and has the right to roll some of 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 thirteen's and men and it was a political decision and they've 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 of the people by the people for the people. it has to be political that's a definition and it's certainly not
1:56 pm
a dirty word. refusing any political or democratic consideration multinationals consider themselves outside politics and above the law . laws still exist. while vattenfall trial against germany is proceeding in washington the federal constitutional court in karlsruhe where the 1st complaint was lived give this judgment to. the court declares that abandoning nuclear power conforms to the german constitution and that the companies affected will have to receive a financial compensation. of up if i come off to prove to your room and. its great disrobe on trade schools there's
1:57 pm
a farm and a cure your folks want to push on their country and how to also distant cousins of us from here to even also song on commision sometimes for suitability to industrial or not tradition for them with. the beagle and give you a foster mom that's involved in guns i'm not reconcile those condemning those wanting to move i just feel even uses funds often question. between visa and. most appreciate it only to be. given a free. risk here didn't. just must confide in east insurance he says there. is communion. so long it can also be humbled to be. in a key concern in love as has the haste and is an extended she's getting hitched just
1:58 pm
one more 20. the sharpness of sorts for the woman. so in 1000000. 1st impression into your head but i don't know about any speaks in the few commas you can be out in the oil all. by again. it is up to the german government to set the amount of compensation to be validated by the bundestag. in an arbitration case it's very different. the amount of compensation is much higher and is set arbitrarily by business lawyers and with no democratic legitimacy. a considerable portion of legal costs $4.00 to $10000000.00 is to be paid primarily by the state.
1:59 pm
in a world of big partisan newton's laws and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bad shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. eat.
