a strange between countries and the investment component the investment chocked or a trade agreement is about something very different is about establishing a special system of international protection for foreign owned. p. diddy's you see that is the season. as. it could be due to the leak over who leaked even the thoughts on foot length if you know is he going to use it and he still missing c now xenia do you see 20 you know he can see and if you don't. do you believe the folks could want. and will exist to commit that we will have all the. on the level of people. own juice to support. these you don't believe. they live less going to security it's time i've got to live with less you know and i think that they need to over there. or was saw

something prevent. the also vision barley going to based on what the consequences. on the. deficit risk of an ongoing economy. they are only for. goodness of i think you are also not equal. in these arbitration to 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 arrangements . for this is what happened in germany when the swedish multinational vattenfall a large energy producer indirectly attacked the city of hamburg in 2009. plan
4:37 am
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 go see it in anything and then in the public hearing they will say whatever they say but the real negotiations will take place outside. i 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 anti pollution measures.
4:38 am
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 fall intil 2011 and suddenly one day the case was closed we only know at the end that they reached a settlement i listen this is very important the only publicly available information is that they said that. end of the story i am marcus k.f.c. 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 well if they reached a settlement in front of the best accord in hamburg then this is
4:39 am
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 that's the 2nd. button flooded one bunny button 5 wanted a change in the product and that's what they got. as unbelievable as it may sound 100 screen 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 50 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
4:40 am
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. pressured by a 50 year old anti nuclear movement and following protests in 450 cities across the country under the merkel was compounds who act.

whole of his hands to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to. have to go to the press this is what will befall. people. interested in the water. question. the world is driven by shaped by one person or those. no dares thinks. we dare to ask.

my uncle the kid's name companies saying oh boy can i get the body. and give them no proof that they can. go into. the sky. move on which i did. and then showed up the movers to the almost an infant who could get on the field to ensure we're still soft and we must. show it is not so much of a thing was a life she was it is a talent of a few rough such as she.

on. 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 the bones belittle and trouble which also belong to the swedish multinational vattenfall. immediately challenge the legitimacy of the nuclear law at the constitutional court . the highest court of justice. the foreign investor. germany in
4:45 am
4:46 am
defends those of germany compensation claims 4700000000 years. as a consequence. of. their production licenses for criminal. and . they were simply with. the dispute. is right as such. rather this dispute. the manner in which germany has chosen to implement its face of decision. and its failure to prop to protect claimants investments in particular concerns germany's failure to pay any compensation at all. the heart and so most in this protection treaties is to provide protection against expropriation. difficulty however when we talk
4:47 am
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 in the esters enjoy under the treaty is influence how and walked the state regulates. doesn't matter if a parliament has adopted a law in the most democratic way. it can still violate international purgation stop 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 in this arbitration is tricks ploy to fukushima disaster.
4:48 am
to create a narrative that would excuse its wrongdoing. you can put perfume on it but the bottom line here is that international and govern this dispute. germany cannot challenge the ratified treaty. but the giant failed to meet its obligations. it did not prepare its damaged power plants a great danger for the population. claimants now compensation for their own business failure billions. plans which were not tar is for their problems but apparently in that. reality a burning transfer meter is totally normal as are bursting pipes also normal and dark and soon of us are corroded barrels with radioactive waste. to follow have shown your promotional video off the criminal power plant in that
4:49 am
video none of the events that are listed here on the site 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 13 for men and but because of a multitude of incidents. through to them to least. open the defeat of uncle. hines little a nuclear physicist from greenpeace called as an expert witness took a close look at all the plans failures. and here experience and how this hypothetical not is actually saying most this is their doctor will emerge. over the cadence of the defeat of. in trade and
4:50 am
destroy the whole thing could be used in a few of the ships so full clue. on this machine transform our doors to those even. the machines from our the how to see on the moon to be in. any big in this is in no mood. to. talk to. or route on this had so few remained of. the ground became some zone large you feel to link to mention yet it's possible she only. 'd and in. this kind of which can also save wouldn't it if this were in simple. thus germany is in famine or descriptions of fires quote unquote and pictures of corroded barrels quote unquote country but nothing to the ultimate determination as
4:51 am
to whether in 2011 germany has admitted in this over trade that its decision to accelerate the face of it 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 job. that is all politics. that involves lawyer is sheltering behind the law behind strict legal language so as not to recognize 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
4:52 am
rights and privileges will benefit the global economy so lawyers are not trained in thinking about the consequences of their cases lawyers are trained in thinking about other life by the law. there is only a french for this and the french term is the. acid that this is what this really applies people think in a very similar way this case is very controversial on has generated much public debate now why is because it's 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. was different. actually and you are correct. that is correct. if that is a public perception. how would that legally translate into.
4:53 am
the investment protection of the city. during the show i make a number of assumptions i don't 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 to roll some of the perception changes into 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 meant was a political decision and they've said it quite often i wonder when political has become such a dirty word that. 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
4:54 am
people. it has to be political that's a definition and it's certainly not a dirty word. refusing any political or democratic consideration multi-nationals 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 judgement. the court declares that abandoning nuclear power conforms to the german constitution and that the companies affected will have to receive a financial compensation. if i come

a key concern in love as has the haste and ease and extended she's getting hitched has been more 20. 4 the woman through. so e-mail your 1st impression it would all have been. a nice weeks in the us 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. 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.
4:58 am
4:59 am
our disdain to educate and in the game because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. i actually don't think monopolies per se are the problem. to credit or to politicians and probably both but the crony financial isn't crony capitalism the problem comes.
