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. all or prohibits disruptors 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.
2:34 am
in the process this is the strongest on my demands for the press. targeted at the demand is on the mood in the problems. for our numbers to smoking up over. a real scandal. this interact expose creation written into the sea to and other treaties opens up a real. box. complaints against government measures that bother investors are likely to increase. arbitration tribunals are a massive deterrent to the state. it is a commits also its use of it is that the have to. zack's in their name again these exist only to get is the glue that is assume you do time to have these as we don't seem to get is because i didn't get you know the gong annual routine us in that.

2:38 am
a vision. of going to develop these i'm what you could be the. defensiveness given hons in a company tests and given soon they put out is what i would say only for. those who've been thinking over the net it will. 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. and this is what happened in germany when the swedish multinational vattenfall a large energy producer indirectly attacked the city of hamburg in 2009. plan
2:39 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 goes if 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.
2:40 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 wagner fall into 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. 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 a settlement in front of domestic court in hamburg then this is
2:41 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. button for did what many buttons i wanted a change in the prompt 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 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
2:42 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 just specially germany. pressured by a 50 year olds anti nuclear movement and following protests in 450 cities across the country. compounds who act.
2:43 am
2:44 am
i don't know maybe. just after they did was they have. that's why i. was. always told was yes measures. all the measure was going to disease but. you know what i mean yet they're still on the. floor. i know what i want the bishop on course and back and i mean now i think it's hard enough. members from africa mafias conway's them safe and quick passage to europe but once they arrive. they are enslaved to make outreach to europe. will not some of them libya my home

are not under you know if this unit will get it out of him. from the chain of the they sold the. lease it's all on court of the import that it was the persona that came in that all this carbon warming. 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.
2:46 am
immediately vattenfall challenge the legitimacy of the nuclear law at the constitutional court of karlsruhe and 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 once it could and would try again in may 2012 it filed a new. the trial takes place in washington. in. the claimant's the federal republic of germany respondents in the
2:47 am
interest of transparency is being streamed so that the public. sentiment is about. to greet. the. compensation claim. as a consequence of the 13th amendment claim of their production licenses for the criminal. and. they were simply withdraw. to dispute. his right as such to face up. rather this dispute the manner in
2:48 am
which germany has chosen to implement its decision. to protect its investments in particular. to pay any compensation. or protection treaties is to provide protection against expropriation. difficulty however when we talk. to draw the line between expropriation all the while. and there is no easy way to draw this line to make this distinction. so of course one could say about the protection that investors enjoy under the treaty is influenced how and what the state regulates. doesn't matter if a parliament has adopted a law in the most democratic way. it can still violate international
2:49 am
obligations that the state has undertaken 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. is tricks ploy to fukushima disaster. to create a narrative that would excuse its wrongdoing. you can put perfume on it but the bottom line here is that international and 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
2:50 am
problems but apparently in. reality a burning transfer meter is totally normal as are busting pipes also normal involve of us are corroded barrels with radioactive waste. showing you a promotional video off the power plant in that video none of the events that are listed here on the site features and plans but both of them have been standing still. not because of focus shima not because of the moratorium not because of the 13th amendment but because of a multitude of incidents. brutal until east. defeated.
2:51 am
a nuclear physicist from greenpeace called as an expert witness took a close look at all the plans failures. expiate and how this. table has any say in most of the well in more so often these cables with the defeat of. a child and he's shown the whole thing can be easily throughout a ship so i fully clued the comment and this machine transform our thoughts to dollars and even move. their machines from other how to see. early to be in then any begin this is in no mood to uncle mustn't. talk to. you hoot. it's a. good feeling for me it is possible she only looked
2:52 am
me in the. discounting which truthfully calls several women that if this were in supercold to it. thus germany is in famine sure descriptions of fires quote unquote and pictures of corroded barrels quote unquote contribute nothing to the ultimate determination as to whether in 2011 germany has admitted in this over trade that its decision to accelerate to phase out was not based on prior. over safety over nuclear power plants but mariner all alleged change perception of the general risk that nuclear energy poses to the general population that is all politics. that involves lawyer is sheltering behind the law behind strict legal language is not to recognize the multinationals responsibility.
2:53 am
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 trained in thinking about consequences of their cases lawyers are trained in thinking about a way apply the law. there's only a french for this and the french term is the. this is what this really applies here people think in a very similar 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 this
2:54 am
through the amendment. actions is that correct. that is correct. if that is a public perception. how would that do legally translates into. the investment protection. during the show and 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 have with. they call because you're. assuming that the public is wrong and has the right to roll the perception changes in the public how does that translate into legally into the city. 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
2:55 am
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 people. it has to be political that's a definition and it's certainly not 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
2:56 am
constitutional court in karlsruhe where the 1st complaint was launched gives its judgment. the court declares that abandoning nuclear power conforms to the german constitution and that the companies affected will have to receive a financial compensation. to yours or mission your argument. is rover on trade schools mr there's a cure for it's one. and had also. from here you. also this is wrong on commision sometimes suitability industrially not tradition for the not so who are going. to be get along and give you a wonderful foster mom that's involved in guns i'm not reconcile those condemning those going to move i just feel even uses funds often pushed to. the same visa unleashing the most appreciate it on the. country given

2:58 am
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. as the election cycle rages on the media highlights or even invents what they deem to be important even radical what they don't tell you is how the political center is collapsing in today's campaign is what voters think about the status quo. a dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells
