Global '90
Two
weeks ago, I tried in this space to try to decrypt, even a little, some
items of various free trade agreements that the United States is
negotiating in different parts of the world, all with an opaque area to
which the peoples access.
Say "I tried" because we all like to entertain us, even those who
write, but we are in an instance in which the drive of this time must be
considered entertainment as one of the key pieces that allow you to
move quietly to the factors real power.
While this drive, which was previously reserved for a newspaper or
television genre, has assumed the overall cake as a glaze and fewer
people supporting continuous reading rough and complex notes, the world
becomes a more and more harsh and complex moment.
In that case, the issue was the clause TTIP and mother, ISDS, which
states that in future disputes between large corporations and the
respective states, not intervene Justice of the State in question but a
team of private arbitrators. That amounts to the dismantling of European legal scaffolding and hint of a privatized market and Justice Service. It is suggested to revise the last sentence.
If they manage to flesh out that Justice manage to impose, or
privatized, as in the scandalous case of FIFA, the US Justice
extraterritorial not because the money has passed through its territory,
but because an email that went through a US server it can also be used
as evidence and enable the performance of the courts in that country-,
we would be in the most brutal of neocolonialism, which does not pass
through the territorial extension but by extending its jurisdiction to
make rules maneuver.
The scale of the maneuver is global.
This week, far from Strasbourg, in Panama, new Wikileaks allowed to
know anything about how they are developing the frantic secret
negotiations TISA (Trade in Services Agreement).
According to a report by journalist Marco Gandásegui fifty countries
carry forward these negotiations, advised by US officials and the EU.
As the TTIP, the TISA presents a radical change in the world order: it
is in all cases of neoliberal alliances global dimension, and put on the
table the new and true object of struggle, which is the geopoder.
To assure you, the United States rushes these treaties, before China
and Russia, on the one hand, tempted to different member countries more
convenient business, and secondly before secret transcends and in
different countries to build critical mass reject.
TISA covers the telecommunications, financial services, insurance and
transport, electronic commerce, among other items whose terms of trade
is regulated and is intended to make the signing of the treaty.
The urgent thing to understand is that these regulations come in combo
with the treaties violated in most cases the respective national,
regional or municipal laws.
It is, as the daylight different international forums deepen the need
to regulate financial markets and especially its carcass, which is not
an exception but an inherent by-product of this stage of capitalism,
from the central power of the West is trying rope sign under treaties
are not intended to trade freely, but winning the fight when, as we have
seen the Argentines with the bizarre case of Judge Griesa, is the fight
over jurisdiction.
Corporations, like vultures, that inspire them, they want to ensure
their own jurisdiction, to put them safe from any future regulation,
especially in southern Europe where the inspiration for change is
hinted.
