TTIP, o tratado mais criminoso da história, considera Eric Zuesse, historiador e investigador.
O TTIP, o super secreto tratado entre 18 países (Austrália, Brunei, Canadá, Chile, Colômbia, Coreia do Sul, EUA, Filipinas, Indonésia, Japão, Malásia, México, Nova Zelândia, Perú, Singapura, Tailândia, Taiwan e Vietname) foi dado por concluído, devendo agora ser assinado pelos países envolvidos. Mas continuará secreto durante 4 anos, podendo o seu conteúdo ser divulgado nessa altura.
Segundo este tratado, as multinacionais podem processar os governos por obstáculos criados, e os processos serão levados a cabo por corporações internacionais, não por tribunais nacionais, eleitos e criados pelo povo, por alegadamente poderem arbitrar de modo mais objetivo e independente, como diz a convenção ICSID.
Estes árbitros alegadamente independentes virão preferencialmente do setor privado. Pior: os casos não poderão ser reapreciados por instâncias superiores, e as multinacionais podem muito bem processar diretamente os governos. O objetivo é óbvio: amedrontar os legisladores e forçar as agências reguladoras de cada país a legislar segundo os secretos interesses de quem manobra o acordo TTIP.
Este sistema vai facilitar a concentração do poder económico, cujos benefícios irão para os acionistas dos países desenvolvidos, indo as perdas para os consumidores, para os contribuintes, para os cidadãos dos países pobres. Refira-se que, segundo a convenção ICSID, os árbitros são pagos em média 200 mil dólares por caso, enquanto os árbitros da Organização Mundial do Comércio são pagos apenas a 20% se forem do setor privado e a 0% se forem técnicos governamentais. Portanto, os lucros da arbitragem no sistema ICSID são muito maiores.
Conclusão: este tratado é um dos mais criminosos da história, representa o colapso da soberania democrática nacional relativamente a assuntos legais e regulamentares, representa a privatização da justiça com o objetivo de canalizar a riqueza de muitos para um punhado de poucos.

Hundreds of thousands protest in Berlin against EU-U.S. trade deal
Hundreds of thousands of people marched in Berlin on Saturday in protest against a planned free trade deal between Europe and the United States that they say is anti-democratic and will lower food safety, labor and environmental standards.
Organizers - an alliance of environmental groups, charities and opposition parties - said 250,000 people were taking part in the rally against free trade deals with both the United States and Canada, far more than they had anticipated.
"This is the biggest protest that this country has seen for many, many years," Christoph Bautz, director of citizens' movement Campact told protesters in a speech.
A police spokesman estimated 100,000 people were taking part in the demonstration which has been trouble free so far. There were 1,000 police officers on duty at the march.
Opposition to the so-called Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) has risen over the past year in Germany, with critics fearing the pact will hand too much power to big multinationals at the expense of consumers and workers.
"What bothers me the most is that I don't want all our consumer laws to be softened," Oliver Zloty told Reuters TV. "And I don't want to have a dictatorship by any companies."
Dieter Bartsch, deputy leader of the parliamentary group for the Left party, who was taking part in the rally said he was concerned about the lack of transparency surrounding the talks.
"We definitely need to know what is supposed to be being decided," he said.
Marchers banged drums, blew whistles and held up posters reading "Yes we can - Stop TTIP."
The level of resistance has taken Chancellor Angela Merkel's government by surprise and underscores the challenge it faces to turn the tide in favor of the deal which proponents say will create a market of 800 million and serve as a counterweight to China's economic clout.
In a full-page letter published in several German newspapers on Saturday, Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel warned against "scaremongering".
"We have the chance to set new and goods standards for growing global trade. With ambitious, standards for the environment and consumers and with fair conditions for investment and workers. This must be our aim," Gabriel wrote.
Businesses hope the trade deal will deliver over $100 billion of economic gains on both sides of the Atlantic.
"A fair and comprehensive free trade deal promotes growth and prosperity in Europe. We should actively participate in the rules for world trade of tomorrow," Ulrich Grillo, head of the BDI Federation of German industries, said in a statement.
