done. to attract foreign investors you're a promise canada did would integrate the international arbitration system called dns into the treaty. the cornerstone of the system is the deterrent effect for states when a complaint is made. women's state nationalized is a business it seizes property and the state then compensates for this expropriation . but if the state raises the minimum wage or passes an empty g.m. along or prohibits disruptors it can affect a company's gains. this is an indirect expose creation since it's a loss of earnings. sufficient grounds for suing

a state before a private international arbitration tribunals. that becker screwed up in the process this is not the last of the strongest on my demands for the press. plus some targeted at the background of my client is on the minute that i've seen the problems i'm going for people are. not just as mucking up by. a real scandal. this indirect exposure creation written into the sea to and other treaties opens up a real pandora's box. complaints against government measures that bother investors are likely to increase. arbitration tribunals are a massive deterrent to the state. in his article it's also says that it is that. zax in there let me get isn't the sort of mechanism to look at these assume drouet hide behind these as we don't seem to get

3:37 pm
goods and services being a strange between countries and the investment component the investment chomped 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. it could be a new leak over who needs even the thoughts on foot length if you know is he going to use them he still missing c now xenia do you see 20 you know he can see if. you will the folks who would want. and will exist to commit that we will have all the. on the level of people. don't believe. they live less going to secure it's time i vote to live in west. and

i think it's going to all of our daily or last saw something for luke extreme they also vision. our larry going to liberal piece on what that's a good. day on the. defenseless skirvin on zenith on the strength of. the only for. goodness of i think you are also not at all. 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 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.
3:39 pm
complaint against 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. 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 an. the pollution measures.
3:40 pm
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. order. and so that's what i said well if they reached
3:41 pm
a settlement in front of domestic court in front 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 op and that's the 2nd. button flooded one bunny button followed wanted a change in the prompt and that's what they got. as unbelievable as it may sound hundreds 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 treaty 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
3:42 pm
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. and germany. 50 year old anti nuclear movement and following protests in 450 cities across the country.
3:43 pm
she moved to abandon nuclear power with maturity. plans and then. in. the name. can an end.
3:44 pm
in the united states presidential candidates debate the future of the u.s. and the world. but dig into the burning questions of this election cycle. every week. student trade was money. running this sunday exclusively on. 1st talk about 20th century socialism this is when governments may mallon fast friends and then they bailed out those mal investments and sold the economy went bankrupt versus 21st century capitalism this is one banks make malinvestment they when they go bad they bail out the malinvestment and that cycle continues until the economy goes bust and that's where are.
3:45 pm
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 boones bottle and crumble 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 attack germany in a private arbitration court. it had already won
3:46 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 luzhin time i'm. hearing. number a or b. slash 12th rushed. in the. the claimants and the federal republic of germany respondents in the interest of transparency does hearings being streamed so we don't know the public. sentiment is about. to greet. the president of the screen. the arbitrator.
3:47 pm
and. defense those of germany compensation claim for a 1000000000 years. as a consequence of the 13th amendment claiming their production licenses for the criminal plant and for the. plant they were simply withdraw. to dispute. his right as such to face up nuclear energy rather this dispute concerns the manner in which germany has chosen to implement its face decision and its failure to probe to protect claimants investments in particular concerns germany's failure to pay any compensation at all. and so most in those protection treaties is to provide protection against expropriation. difficulty however when we talk
3:48 pm
about expropriation is to draw the line between expropriation all the while. 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. the protection that investors 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 tends to violate international obligations to the state. in the international treaty. or it is for each individual state to decide whether law they want to sign such treaties or germany is trying to do in this arbitration is tricks ploy to fukushima disaster.
3:49 pm
to create a narrative that would excuse its wrongdoing. you can put perfume on it but the bottom line here is that international peace to govern this dispute. 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 busting pipes also normal involvement how soon of us are corroded barrels with radioactive waste . shown you a promotional video off the power plant in that video none of the events that are
3:50 pm
listed here on the site features and plans but both of them have been standing still. not because of fukushima not because of the moratorium not because of the 13th amendment but because of a multitude of incidents. i'm too nice to. be. defeat the. kind of nuclear physicist from greenpeace called as an expert witness took a close look at all the plans failures. and here experience. is actually saying most of the well in mark. over the cadence of the defeat of. p.b.s.
3:51 pm
and threw it a ship so i fully clear. on in this machine transform our thoughts and even. the machines on some of the how to see. early to be in then. begin this is an enormous. it's going. to hoot. it's a. feat to link to me it is possible she only looked around. 'd me. just couldn't quite truthfully say what in that if there 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
3:52 pm
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 plants but mariner on an alleged change perception of the general risk that nuclear energy poses to the german population that is all politics. is sheltering behind the law behind strict legal language. it was 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 international law as a sort of 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
3:53 pm
trained in thinking about consequences of their cases lawyers are trained in thinking about a way of by the law. there is only a french for this and the french term is the. this is what this really applies here people think in the various some alone where 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 due for. action is that correct. that is correct. if that is a public perception. how would that do legally translates into. the
3:54 pm
investment protection. and you know sure i make a number of assumptions and 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 the right or wrong the perception changes in the public how does that translate into legally. and i was listening to the. opening this morning. claiming about the 13th and was a political decision and i've said it quite often i wonder when political has become such a dirty word that. it comes from the greek but 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
3:55 pm
people. it has to be political that's its definition and it's certainly not as he was. 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 launched 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. about the farrakhan offer to come to yours or mission or are women too young. to survive on trade

3:57 pm
sharpness of sorts for the woman of. 40000000. interested in. a nice weeks 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 that with no democratic legitimacy. a considerable portion of legal costs $4.00 to $10000000.00 is to be paid primarily by the state.
