Titre : Public Services under Attack : TTIP, CETA, and the secretive collusion between business lobbyists and trade negotiators Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Thomas Fritz, Auteur Editeur : Amsterdam [Pays-Bas] : Transnational Institute (TNI) Année de publication : October 2015 Importance : 48 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Commerce des services Service public TTIP UE Europe Résumé : Public services in the European Union (EU) are under threat from international trade negotiations that endanger governments’ ability to regulate and citizens’ rights to access basic services like water, health, and energy, for the sake of corporate profits. The EU’s CETA (Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement) agreement with Canada, the ratification of which could begin in 2016, and the TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership) treaty under negotiation with the United States are the latest culmination in such efforts. In a worst case scenario, they could lock in public services into a commercialisation from which they will not recover – no matter how damaging to welfare the results may be.
This report sheds some light on the secretive collusion between big business and trade negotiators in the making of the EU’s international trade deals. It shows the aggressive agenda of services corporations with regards to TTIP and CETA, pushing for far-reaching market opening in areas such as health, cultural and postal services, and water, which would allow them to enter and dominate the markets. And it shows how those in charge of EU trade negotiations are rolling out the red carpet for the services industry, with both the consolidated CETA agreement published in September 2014, as well as drafts of TTIP chapters and internal negotiation documents that reflect the wishlists of corporate lobbyists.En ligne : https://www.tni.org/en/publication/public-services-under-attack-0 Public Services under Attack : TTIP, CETA, and the secretive collusion between business lobbyists and trade negotiators [document électronique] / Thomas Fritz, Auteur . - Amsterdam (PO Box 14656, 1001 LD, Pays-Bas) : Transnational Institute (TNI), October 2015 . - 48 p.

Titre : Seeds of Discontent Type de document : document projeté ou vidéo Editeur : Amsterdam [Pays-Bas] : Transnational Institute (TNI) Année de publication : 2013 Importance : 22'32 Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Industrie forestière Mozambique Pays-Bas Suède Norvège Investissements Accaparement des terres Mouvements sociaux Résumé : Documentary film “Seeds of discontent” draws attention to the role of a Swedish investment firm, Dutch pension fund and Norwegian church endowment firm in land grabbing in Mozambique.
In the northern province of Niassa, Mozambique, one company, Chikweti, set up with investments by Swedish and Norwegian churches and the Dutch pension fund, ABP is establishing large tree plantations. Chikweti not only promised their investors a large financial return, but also claimed it would deliver jobs, environmental protection and community development to the region. It seemed a win-win for everyone. This documentary follows the story of one of the plantation workers, Amado. He wants to improve the conditions of his fellow workers in the Chikweti plantation of Licole, Mozambique. He’s frightened and often intimidated in pursuit of this goal, while facing an apathetic union, a hardnosed manager, and a group of elders determined to halt his actions. But will Amado achieve the support he needs from his fellow workers and local peasant farmers while facing up to the company management? We discover the answer when he and a new local union confront Chikweti by rallying the local peasant farmers and plantation workers to stand together.En ligne : http://www.seedsofdiscontent.net/ Seeds of Discontent [document projeté ou vidéo] . - Amsterdam (PO Box 14656, 1001 LD, Pays-Bas) : Transnational Institute (TNI), 2013 . - 22'32.
