Transoceanic trade dictates

Трансокеанский торговый диктат

Talks about the two transoceanic trading blocs has been underway for several years. The idea of a free exchange of goods, services and investment with the epicenter of yield for the United States persistently promoted by the political elite of the United States. In the Pacific direction the promotion was formed just three months ago. In February 2016 the trade Ministers of 12 countries in the Asia-Pacific region have signed the agreement on creation of free trade zone in the future. That is has signed a Memorandum of intent, click on the nose of the PRC. For among 12 participants in the TPP the biggest global economy does not appear.

Of course, the Chinese authorities had made strenuous efforts in the opposite direction, for the organization of the trade Union with their participation. This Union is called VERP (regional Comprehensive economic partnership) and includes all the ASEAN countries, China, India, South Korea and significant participants in the American project – Japan, Brunei and Vietnam. Perspectives of VERP is slightly higher TTP. Because they are based on economic reality and lack of political selection. With another transoceanic partnership is even worse.

Tie in the single market of the EU and the United States – the challenge of ambitious, complex and lying outside the plane of empty declarations. In Europe no China, which should harass and isolate. Europe is generally a rich and developed continent, where in favor of the United States a lot of things there.
In Europe there is no single political center.
In Europe there are no leaders with a strategic view of the future and with the authority to implement their ideas.
In Europe, there are social forces, which need such leaders.
Actually, Europe does not have the very biggest ideas worthy of implementation. Do not take such a dream somehow miraculously solve the problem of refugees – much to the triumph of humanistic values, to everyone’s satisfaction and without compromising comfort.

TTIP – Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership – for several years issued by the US authorities and the EU at amazing procedure.

The essence and details of the TTIP are secret, contrary to all European mantra about transparency in bureaucratic activities. Sporadic publicity to indulge in the European proposal, but not the compromises reached. But we know that referendums on the fate of TTIP in Europe is not scheduled. These Europeans are wrong to vote in plebiscites. The single EU Constitution hacked, then in Greece one had the IMF, in Croatia, condemn gay marriage, in the Netherlands an Association ride. Calmer somehow without a referendum, the UK guarantees. Wait for messages from the Brussels office, your feedback is very important to us.

A major leak about the TTIP content has exploded in the European media, like a powerful firecracker in the wedding cake. Yes, all guests sitting in the splash of cream and biscuit Shmatko, trying to maintain the solidity of manners and the solemnity of the moment. Just published hundreds of pages of hot revelations, the most relief the following examples:

Delivery of European cars in the US are dependent on the access of American farmers to the EU market. Skeptics barter can study the current situation of the concern “Volkswagen” after the appearance of the American problem under the collective name of “Deselect”.
In the United States is allowed to grow 170 varieties of genetically modified vegetables in the EU is the only variety of corn.
In USA it is forbidden to add into cosmetics 11 ingredients in the EU – 1.382.
Reduction of harmful emissions into the atmosphere articles TTIP is not provided. Sluggish outcome of the Paris summit environmental is confirmed, well before the scandal revelations.

Gaps in the legal framework for production activities and trade and health care between the EU and the US are huge – and these gaps are covered by the compulsion of Europeans to American standards and regulations.

He ban on any product, drug, Supplement etc. is subject to complete revision in the framework of the TTIP. Instead of suspicion of harm to health reason for a ban would be evidence of danger. Ie first, someone poisoned products, medication, Supplement and prove damages in court. Then only the marked goods will be withdrawn from use, and their producers-distributors stonewalled.

All the “horror stories” about the trade and investment partnership between the US and the EU suddenly and with a vengeance confirmed. The most active opponents of TTIP is slightly shocked – “deal of the century” means unprecedented control of American corporations above European standards of health and food security. Way back “partnership” does not. If the government of a certain European countries unilaterally try to change environmental, health or other standards – investors granted right to sue the state and to impose on the obstinate financial sanctions. Verdict the most honest overseas courts in detriment of overseas corporations can be predicted in advance.

Ironic Murphy’s law reads: “there is No bad situation that cannot be radically worsen”.
The outgoing President of the United States brilliantly confirmed this postulate a lengthy interview for “Washington Post”. Barack Obama has stated the indignation of the Chinese desire to participate in regional trade on an equal basis. But what sounds its presentation to the Europeans:

“This agreement strengthens the economy and national security of the United States,… the American company will export most of the products, we have many thousands of high-paying jobs…
The world has changed and new rules must set USA…. Let’s make sure that America dictated his will…”

A partnership of equals = to dictate.
A cooperation agreement = the strengthening of the US economy.
Mutually beneficial development = growth of exports of American companies.
The improvement of social standards = the creation of thousands of high-paying jobs in the United States.
The triumph of Western values = dictates from overseas.
The rule of law = condemnation of American courts of European States.
Ignorance = power, freedom = slavery…
Orwell could rewrite the text interoceanic partnerships without much difficulty and loss of meaning.

Europe as a submissive foreign policy adventures of Washington. However, the crossing of the negotiations on TTIP affects European interests. It beats the European manufacturers, standards and consumers. The first of the European leaders declared rejection of the transatlantic partnership in its current form, the President of France.
The request to enter into two trades of the century led to doubtfulness each. At least until the advent of the new administration in the White House, which sharply condemning the dictatorial habits of the previous administration. On the production of new wrappers for TTIP will have to work hard.
