natures the. emotional stories impersonal suspense pale horse moral rushes in racing is competition in the extreme to have a follows the specified route between the lines with the fastest time just real issues normally go to church every church or dish believe law school should be there really for. you. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this spirit dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

in europe people are taking to the streets to protest the lack of transparency in treaty negotiations such as the t.t. ip treaty with the us and the seat a treaty with canada. the use of arbitration tribunals a central and totally opaque part of these treaties is a serious threat to the future of democracies. may. be very. limited us analysis. on the. tiny little boy lonia block the signing of the free trade agreement with canada thanks to paul man yet it's minister president.

3.5000000 while loons blocked a treaty concerning 500000000 europeans a smoothie european entity defies the great liberal euro it's truly david against goliath. all of us face that want to get us for ideas for what big diff. is good about fair hope there's one is what we do believe that if you're a genius or not if you don't. give us big. sign it just. says on those i'm going to join it is only. just trust me as it examined this you know not that exam i was the 1st going is unfair i see it up chris i don't fix it it's all there are.

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. 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 type. now that they're correcting the problem

in the process it's a good idea you know most of us want to store my demands for our press plus one targeted at the demand on the high commanders on the myth that having the problems going for people are. not just as mocking up by your 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. their name again isn't the sort of again is the glue that is assumed. to be ideas as we don't seem to get these big ideas don't you get you know the gong annual routine us in that. interview and

more skivvies dispenses again think he did just as you like us to take on that is to add that back in the data sets itself in disguise if i have bought a. new news i want to take him on this one on the hope that is doing that gift. by example. rescission up again that is to simply deal with it pointedly she says we're going to hold you mean was that they give us again you. don't look enough don't have a guess you don't even have one and if it destroys you to hate you more this will be given the. no token so matter of one example the. piece can do sums your don't live on. this is your government if i'm in a song that's a betrayal to the bridge just not as a trip to be desired. does it. make its move for tech

a visit to see me. there on the brain of a massive expansion of the role of the rest of us. so what happens when we introduce a couple of new treaties like santa and the other big one is the trans-pacific partnership the promoters of biased yes have long like to say well we already have 2 or 3000 of these trainees what's a couple more attempts at combined with a c. and the pain takes us from still having a minority role in the world to be calming and establishments of the institution why the foreign investors have their most powerful rights at the international level of any private charter in the world most people think about trade they think about 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. but. it could be a new leak over who leaked even the thoughts on foot length if you know is he going to use it and he still missing c $98.00 xenia do you see 20 you know he can see and if you both thank you the folks who would want. and will exist to commit that we will have all the music so sounds really great beyond the level of people present now. a simple. don't believe. they live less going to security i'm naive but they live in west you know that they need 12 hour delay when it was so that's something pretty neat. vision barly

going to give you a piece on what that's a good. day on the. defense minister of an on going economy. the only facet. goodness of i think you also know to kill. 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. plan

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. 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 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 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 only button 5 wanted a change in the prompt and that's what they call. 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. that same day japan suffered the worst earthquake in its history. this fukushima disaster shook the planet and just specially germany. by a 50 year old's anti nuclear movement and following protests in 450 cities across the country under the merkel was compounds who lacked.

she moved to abandon nuclear power with maturity supposed. to meet. in. the name. on easy kinda can in any. event. you know that counted. in the.

there's a world of all of them were 1st me of the whole new little more the approach. of the guy who. is a very experienced. almost formal for sure.

so. don't overcook yourself. the point was to use the book or the scottish government those that would use up before the police is read by the up in the media of course through. 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 bronze 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 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 although it essentially concerns europe. well good morning ms young woman i'll bring our rich. the claimant's the federal republic of germany respondents in the interest of transparency being streamed so with the public. sentiment. to greet.

the. 1000000000 year. as a consequence of the 13th amendment claim their production licenses for the criminal and for the and. they were simply withdraw. to dispute. his right as such to face up no rather this dispute concerns the manner in which germany has chosen to implement its decision. to protect investments in particular concerns germany's failure to pay any compensation at all.

most in this protection treaties is to provide protection against expropriation. difficulty however when we talk about expropriation is to draw the line between expropriation all the while. on the other. hand there is no easy way to. make this distinction. of course. the protection that investors enjoy under the treaty is. how was the regular. doesn't matter if a parliament has adopted the law in the most democratic way. it can still 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. to create a narrative that would excuse its wrongdoing. you can put perfume on it but the bottom line here is that the international piece 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 involved and soon 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 from fukushima not because of the moratorium not because of the 13th amendment but because of a multitude of incidents. brutal until east. defeated. a 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 busy of the him up so

awfully cadence with the defeat of. in china. can be easily through a ship so i fully clued the comment in this machine transform our thoughts and even. the machines from out the how to see. early to be in then any begin this is an unknown. route. it's a. feature link for me it is possible only. in the. this can include truth can also save wouldn't it if this were an infant book all through it.

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 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 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 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 that. so this is what is really applies here people think in the various 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 through the amendment. was different. action is that correct that is correct.

if that is a public perception how would that do legally translates into. the 1st man protection. and you know sure i make a number of assumptions and i don't ask you to do anything but sure 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 into the. and i was listening to the. opening this morning. claiming about the thirteen's 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 people. it has to be political that's its definition and it's certainly not she 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 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. about farrakhan office workers to yours or mission or are women too young. to survive on trade schools mr there's a cure for one. and to also. from here you'd. be leashed industrially not tradition for going to the garden. regal going to give you an. inversion i'm not. going to move out. if you even used funds often push the . issue in visalia we start almost to push the ticket on the. country giving the for. the. land as he said it was clear didn't spot and thus must confide in east insurance he says spotify vigna this communion and this was stopped so long it can

also be humbled to be undone in a key concern in love as opposed to his endless and extended she'd skittish to just one more penny on them in the spotlight as the sharpness of sorts for the woman of through about. 40000000. interested in them and all but i don't know about a nice weeks in then few commas seemingly out in the oil or. if i 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 that with no democratic legitimacy. a considerable portion of legal costs

$4.00 to $10000000.00 is to be paid primarily by the state. again one listen we all want to or. probably have to start back seems have to be acceptable to the population before they are broke down in a society because. there is a real risk undermining faith in the vaccination system. and i think governments are under such pressure to introduce a vaccine rapidly. the willingness to consult and to ensure acceptability somehow in your growth you.
