    <title>【拡散希望】逃れられない日米ＦＴＡ　事前協議合意の露骨な含意: 街の弁護士日記　SINCE１９９２at名古屋</title>

    <dc:creator>willowtrees</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[from the page: "..メディアの報道では、早々と自動車などいくつかの分野について、貢ぎ物をし、非関税障壁に関する二国間協議に入るとの合意をしたと報じられている。

この二国間協議は、法的なものである。

『この目的のため，両国政府は，ＴＰＰ交渉と並行して，保険，透明性／貿易円滑化，投資，知的財産権，規格・基準，政府調達，競争政策，急送便及び衛生植物検疫措置の分野における複数の鍵となる非関税措置に取り組むことを決定しました。これらの非関税措置に関する交渉は，日本がＴＰＰ交渉に参加した時点で開始されます。両国政府は，これらの非関税措置については，両国間でのＴＰＰ交渉の妥結までに取り組むことを確認するとともに，これらの非関税措置について達成される成果が，具体的かつ意味のあるものとなること，また，これらの成果が，法的拘束力を有する協定，書簡の交換，新たな又は改正された法令その他相互に合意する手段を通じて，両国についてＴＰＰ協定が発効する時点で実施されることを確認します。』

アメリカは、これまでの対日要求によって、政治レベルで日本の構造改革を図ってきたが、ＴＰＰ交渉への参加を日本に対して認めるのをエサに、法的な拘束力のある協定や法令の改正によって非関税障壁の撤廃を図ることに合意したということだ。
これは、典型的には日米ＦＴＡのことに他ならない。
この交渉は「日本がＴＰＰ交渉に参加した時点で開始され」「両国間でのＴＰＰ交渉の妥結までに取り組ま」れ、「両国についてＴＰＰ協定が発効する時点で実施されることを確認」するとされている。
ＴＰＰと一括して、日米ＦＴＡも締結、批准されるという約束になっている。

マチベンは、ＴＰＰは、場合によっては、アメリカが求めるレベルに達しない可能性があると思っていた。とくにオーストラリア、ニュージーランドとの間で、米国が保護したいセンスティブな農産品の関税や、ＩＳＤ条項の締結に関して意見の対立が厳しいため、場合によっては、ＴＰＰの決裂もあり得ると期待していた。

しかし、そうした期待は、ついえたと言ってよいだろう。
アメリカとしては、ＴＰＰでは、各国の思惑に配慮して、中途半端なものでも合意するかも知れない。
しかし、属国である日本に対して、それを許すとは到底、考えられない。
日本とは並行して法的拘束力のある二国間協議を進めるということは、ＴＰＰと日米ＦＴＡの間で基準や手続の相違が生まれるのは当然というのがアメリカの立場を示している。
属国にはより厳しい基準をという、ダブルスタンダードである。

アメリカ政府はアメリカ製品の日本への輸出を妨げている広範な産業分野および産業横断的な非関税障壁に対する懸念を表明してきた。これらの問題がTPP交渉においてはまだ十分に討議されていない以上、それらは二国間で、TPP協議と並行して、討議され、TPP交渉終了までに完結させなければならない。　（ＵＳＴＲ報告書） 

この合意は、ＴＰＰが締結、批准されることを前提にしているように見える。
ＴＰＰが決裂した場合は、どうか。
日本の交渉態度の想像を絶する弱腰からすれば、ＴＰＰが決裂する前に、日米ＦＴＡは、とっくに合意できる水準になっているだろう。
ＴＰＰが決裂したからと言って、日本がこの拘束から逃れることは実際上、不可能だろう。


米国議会は、日本のＴＰＰ参加表明まで大統領に対する通商交渉の授権法を失効させたままでいた。
日本が参加表明した途端に、授権法に向けた動きが出てきた。
最初からアメリカの狙いが日本だったことは明らかだ。


米国の狙いは、あくまでも世界３位のＧＤＰを有する日本との間で、アメリカの求める自由貿易と保護主義を同時に満たすＦＴＡなのだ。

...................


・自動車安全基準の認証手続に関する例外台数の倍増、日本郵政に関連するガン保険や医療保険の不認可は、アメリカが求めるまでもなく、一方的に日本政府が通知してきたという。

・非関税障壁に関するファクトシートも極めて恐ろしい... 企業の社会的な役割を云々するのは、投資家の利益に反する。投資家の利益を守るために「真に独立した取締役（株主代表）」の役割を強化しろというのだ。政府の審議会などの機関に、外国投資家（stake holder）を入れることも明記されている。

こうした「非関税障壁の撤廃」が日米ＦＴＡの内容になるのだ。

結局、ＴＰＰ交渉事前協議とは、アメリカにとっては、日米ＦＴＡへの約束を取り付けるための場であったのである。日本の官僚を中心としてそれに蝟集する政治家や財界を初めとする利益集団は、それを知っていて、ＴＰＰ交渉へ前のめりになって、率先して日本を売り払おうとしているのだ。"]]></description>

A trade agreement between the U.S. and EU is the building blocks for a new global trading system. If you combine NAFTA, the Trans-Pacific Partnership and a U.S,-EU Transatlantic trade deal, you have the makings for a global free trade area."]]></description>

Concerns that the KORUS FTA would endanger not only legal but also legislative sovereignty and jeopardize Korea’s ability to create and enforce public policies are being realized. In the KORUS FTA, discrimination based on the amount of vehicle emissions was included in a list of technological barriers to trade prohibited through 2015. This clause was pushed through by the US government during the renegotiations at the request of US companies, which generally manufacture and sell large vehicles that emit large amounts of carbon. It was inevitable that the low-carbon vehicle incentive system, which provides subsidies or penalties according to the amount of exhaust gases released, would fall afoul of this provision..."]]></description>

Since Canada isn't part of this agreement, Pacific Rim opened a subsidiary in Reno, Nevada... Rather than complying with the environmental permitting process of El Salvador, Pacific Rim launched an attack under the Dominican Republic-Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA). They are demanding compensation from the government of El Salvador that could rise to hundreds of millions of dollars.  In an abuse of process designed to attract jurisdiction under DR-CAFTA, Pacific Rim moved its subsidiary from the Cayman Islands to Nevada in the United States.  The case will be decided by a tribunal at the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), associated with the World Bank..."]]></description>

    <dc:creator>willowtrees</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[from the page: "..In the last 15 years there is abundant evidence that this trade [NAFTA] deal has failed. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics some 900,000 jobs were lost in the U.S. alone, and millions of Mexican farmers' livelihoods were devastated when they failed to compete with the influx of tariff-free, subsidized crops from the U.S. As with NAFTA, the U.S.-Korea FTA will likely offshore thousands of jobs from an already flailing economy. A large number of the endangered jobs pay around 40.5 percent more than the average wage in the U.S. Of the 159,000 lost jobs projected by the Economic Policy Institute, high tech and green jobs, along with manufacturing, are most at risk... Trade policy has the ugly effect of pitting workers around the world against one another. But when we talk to each other and see that neither side is actually benefiting, we start to wonder, who is? After all, if it's not working for you, and it's not working for me, it must be working for someone...]]></description>

"Food security" posits that a country is secure as long as it has sufficient income to import its food. It separates farm employment from food security and ignores unequal access to food within a country... Seventeen years after NAFTA, some two million farmers have been forced off their land by low prices and the dismantling of government supports. ... The areas that adapted successfully to industrial agriculture and agroexport crops are characterized by flagrant violation of the labor rights of migrant farm workers, widespread pollution and water waste... Take the case of Corn Products International (CPI). The transnational filed a NAFTA claim against the Mexican government in 2003, claiming a loss to its business due to a tax levied on high fructose corn syrup in beverages...]]></description>

A 2008 NAFTA tribunal ruled that Mexico had to pay $58.4 million to CPI... CPI’s wholly owned subsidiary Arancia Corn Products is among the most powerful food transnationals operating in the country, along with Maseca/Archers Daniel Midland and Cargill. Large agribusiness companies allegedly played a key role in the 2007 tortilla crisis by hoarding harvest as the international price went up, artificially drying up the national market and selling at nearly double the price they paid for the harvest... NAFTA and other FTAs give corporations the power to define what we eat, what we buy at the store, who will have a job and who won’t, and whether a village sustained by local food production will survive or witness the end of generations of livelihoods."]]></description>

The demonstrators shouted slogans against the American military base on Okinawa, demanding the removal of the base from the island... They tried to submit a letter to Washington's Ambassador in Japan John Victor Roos, but they were prevented from reaching the embassy by a wall of Japanese police. Futenma airbase, hosting about half the US troops in Japan, is extremely unpopular with locals who associate it with crime and pollution... The relocation of the air station is not the only unbearable issue for Okinawans, as Tokyo has agreed to construct six helipads (each 75 meters in diameter) for the US Marine Corps' Bell-Boeing V-22 Ospreys around the village... Earlier this week, Japanese people staged another street protest against the trans-Pacific free trade pact, which broadens relationships with the United States.

We are witnessing the death of the liberal arts. The war on public education is a front in the broader class war that pits workers against owners and the working class against the wealthy... The problem isn’t big government; it is the merging of corporations and big business with government and the philosophical system that engenders it: the market fundamentalism spawned by rapacious capitalism. When corporations, which are motivated by profit rather than regard for the public welfare, merge with government, people are removed from the equation and they are replaced by capital. Thus money is equated with free speech and corporations are given the rights of human beings without the social and moral responsibility of citizenship. This is what capitalism does. Free markets are not an expression of democracy; they are a manifestation of corporate fascism and belligerence...

But as Al Jazeera's Steve Chao reports from Seoul, union workers and civic groups have already begun one of the largest rallies in the run-up to the Thursday-Friday meeting. The protesters are opposed to a long-delayed free-trade deal between South Korea and the US, which Lee Myung-bak and Barack Obama, respectively the two countries' presidents, want to finalise before the summit. The demonstrators also want the South Korean government to improve labour rights. For their part, authorities have tightened security in preparation for the arrival of 10,000 participants, including 32 heads of government and leaders of international organisations."

    <dc:creator>willowtrees</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[from the page: "..no one disputes that 23,000 people have been killed since 2006 in a largely futile military operation initiated by Mexican president Felipe Calderon... The present policy is failing and needs to be changed. The militarization of the war on drugs has been a colossal disaster which has accelerated the pace of social disintegration. Mexico is quickly becoming a failed state, and Washington's deeply-flawed Merida Initiative, which provides $1.4 billion in aid to the Calderon administration to intensify military operations, is largely to blame.. NAFTA, in particular, has triggered a massive migration of people who have been pushed off the land... free trade has not only had a ruinous effect on the economy, but has also created an inexhaustible pool of recruits for the drug trade... It's no coincidence that Kabul and Bogota are the the de facto capitals of the drug universe. US political support is strong in both places, as is the involvement of US intelligence agencies...

    <title>U.S. Bases in Colombia Rattle the Region | By Benjamin Dangl, March 2010 issue, The Progressive</title>

    <link>http://progressive.org/danglmarch10.html</link>
    <dc:creator>willowtrees</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[from the page: "...The military base agreement needs to be understood in the context of two other U.S. initiatives in Colombia. First, Plan Colombia, which began under President Clinton, committed billions of dollars ostensibly to fight the war on drugs but also to fighting the guerrillas, intensifying the country’s already brutal conflict in rural areas. This has led to increasing displacement of people from areas that are strategically important for mining multinationals. Second, the U.S.-Colombia free trade agreement, which was signed in 2006, could pry open the country to more U.S. corporate exploitation. But it has been met with opposition in the United States, delaying its ratification. Daza says the signing of the bases deal is part of “a military strategy that complements the push for the free trade agreement.” The trade accord will serve “transnational corporate investments,” and these investments, he says, “are sustained by a military relationship.”..."

    <dc:creator>willowtrees</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[from the page: ".. While the US has issued heavily-qualified statements critical of the coup—in the aftermath of the events in Honduras—the US could have flexed its tremendous economic muscle before the coup and told the military coup plotters to stand down. The US ties to the Honduran military and political establishment run far too deep for all of this to have gone down without at least tacit support or the turning of a blind eye by some US political or military official(s). ...the US is the top trading partner for Honduras. The coup plotters/supporters in the Honduran Congress are supporters of the “free trade agreements” Washington has imposed on the region. The coup leaders view their actions, in part, as a rejection of Hugo Chavez’s influence in Honduras and with Zelaya and an embrace of the United States and Washington’s “vision” for the region. Obama and the US military could likely have halted this coup with a simple series of phone calls. "

    <title>The Propaganda Model; Iran versus Peru By Michael McGehee | Z Blogs, Jun 25, 2009</title>

    <link>http://www.zmag.org/blog/view/3343</link>
    <dc:creator>willowtrees</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[from the page: "The theory is the Propaganda Model and it rests on the observation that since the media is owned by huge corporations with close ties to state power that there is a filtering process to weed out nearly everything but the "orthodoxy, a body of ideas which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question."... In Peru the government issued a decree that allowed them to open up indigenous lands to foreign investment ...and the local indigenous people rose up.... What transpired was a massacre where up to 250 indigenous leaders are missing... Cross-examine this with the Iranian protests and we see considerable more coverage though much less carnage. The ultimate question is: Does covering the events in Peru and Iran serve the interests of private and state power, or not? In cases where events serve those concentrated centers of power it is highly predictable that not only will they receive more coverage but the bias will be as equally predictable."

    <title>PERU: ‘Police Are Throwing Bodies in the River,’ Say Native Protesters By Milagros Salazar | IPS</title>

    <dc:creator>willowtrees</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[from the page "There are conflicting reports on a violent incident in Peru’s Amazon jungle region in which both police officers and indigenous protesters were killed. The authorities, who describe last Friday’s incident as a "clash" between the police and protesters manning a roadblock, say 22 policemen and nine civilians were killed. But leaders of the two-month roadblock say at least 40 indigenous people, including three children, were killed and that the authorities are covering up the massacre by throwing bodies in the river... "We have killed each other, Peruvians against Peruvians," lamented indigenous leader Shapion Noningo, the new spokesman for the Peruvian Rainforest Inter-Ethnic Development Association (AIDESEP) - which groups 28 federations of indigenous peoples - said Sunday night. AIDESEP has led the protests that began two months ago, which have included blockades of traffic along roads and rivers and occupations of oil industry installations in various provinces."
