Corporate Europe Observatory: "Suing the state : hidden rules within the EU-US trade deal", CEOwebtv YouTube Channel (15 April 2014)
A short video from the Corporate Europe Observatory reminds us that a key element in the advancement of the New Corporate-Fascist World Order is the so-called "free-trade" agreement. Warning about the proposed EU/US Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership [TTIP], or Transatlantic Free Trade Area [TAFTA]), they comment:
These rules, officially known as investor-state dispute settlement clauses, are found in many international trade and investment agreements, mostly signed since the 1990s. They give investors based in a country where the agreement was made the ability to sue another signatory state if its policies have resulted in reduced profits. Investors are increasingly using these clauses to sue governments for billions of dollars." * Suing the State {youtube}http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spBdTcaY3_Q{/youtube} Image source: " |
