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 entry 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 ground for suing a state before a private international arbitration tribunals. do not that they're. going to do for also this is not the last of the strongest on my demands for a plus. plus one targeted at the demand on the hike is on the route that having the problems. are. numbers to smoking up by your

12:38 pm
they are only for. goodness of thinking 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. 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 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 goes if
12:39 pm
anything and then in the public hearing they will say whatever they say but the real negotiations will take some face 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 a petition the elected green party reviewed the permit. the discharge of hot water into the elbe to cool turbines threatens the aquatic fauna vattenfall would have to comply with energy 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
12:40 pm
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 settled and of the store. bag. much because 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 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 that's the 2nd. button so i
12:41 pm
didn't want any buttons i wanted a change in the public 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 but all over the world. even germany is caught in the trap of its treaties and gives in to blackmail. in total secrecy this. and agreement on march 11th 2011.

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 bottle and which also belong to the swedish multinational vattenfall. immediately vattenfall challenge the legitimacy of the nuclear law at the constitutional court of calls with 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 once it could and would try again in may 2012 it filed a new complaint in arbitration. the child takes place in washington
12:47 pm
although it essentially concerns europe. well good morning liz young from i'm. hearing. number a rb slash 12th rushed. in a metal retreat in long in fall a b. ask lehmann's and the federal republic of germany as response in the interest of transparency this hearing is being streamed so that also the public. versus state sentiment is about. each other greet. its presenter this spring. the arbitrator is vandenberg. and the bean a conrad defends those of germany compensation claims for 7000000000 euros.
12:48 pm
as a consequence of the 13th amendment claimants lost their production licenses for the criminal plant and for the and 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 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. the heart and so most in this protection treaties is to provide protection against expropriation. difficulty however when we talk 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 these lines to make this distinction.
12:49 pm
so of course one could say that the protection that in the west was enjoy under the treaty is influenced how and walked the state regulates. doesn't matter if a parliament has adopted it in the war in the most democratic way. it can still violate international big ations that the state has undertaken in the international treaty. or 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 ploy to fukushima disaster. to create a narrative that would be. stu's wrongdoing. you can put perfume on it but the border guard here is that the international peace treaty govern this dispute. legally germany cannot challenge the ratified treaty. but the swedish giant failed
12:50 pm
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 how soon of us are corroded barrels with radioactive waste . to follow have shown you a promotional video off the power plant in that 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. not because of the moratorium
12:51 pm
not because of the 13th amendment but because of a multitude of incidents. through to them to. defeat. a nuclear physicist from greenpeace called as an expert witness took a close look at all the plans failures. and here experience. as any say in most. 'd cases with the defeat of. a trade in history on the whole thing. he beason through it a ship so i fully clued. on this machine transform our thoughts to dolls and even . the machines on some of the how to see the military in.
12:52 pm
any big in this is an enormous. guns. bought some of the root. it's a. gun it came from a larger fee to link the means for me it is possible only the crown in the. discounting could. save wouldn't it if this were in supercold. thus germany is in famine 2 or 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 that its decision to 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
12:53 pm
energy poses to the german population 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 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 globally come. so lawyers are not trained in thinking about consequences of their cases more as a trained in thinking about a way of by the more. there's all you frenched of it is and the french term is that
12:54 pm
. so this is what this really applies you people think in a very similar lowered 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. into. the 1st man protection. if you are sure i make a number of assumptions or don't ask you to do anything but should not do this would be because it is almost impossible hypothetical because you are. assuming
12:55 pm
that the public is wrong and has the right wrong some of the perception changes in the public how does that translate into legally introduce you to. and i was listening to it's opening this morning. claiming that the thirteen's and meant and 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 as he was. refusing any political or democratic consideration multinationals consider
12:56 pm
themselves outside politics and above the law. laws still exist. while vattenfall the trial against germany is proceeding in washington the federal constitutional court in karlsruhe where the 1st complaint was lived gives its 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. if i come off to prove to yours or argument only the sheets crispus rove on trade schools mr there's a form and a cure for it's going to push on our country and how to also distant cousins of us from here good to in also going on commision seems to be leashed industrial in the

12:58 pm
a nice weeks in the if you can almost see me out in the oil or. 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 with no democratic legitimacy. a considerable portion of legal costs $4.00 to $10000000.00 is to be paid primarily by the state. a dark industry comes to life in los angeles every night. dozens of women sells their bodies on the streets many of them under-age. los angeles police reveal
