Comment on CETA: Juncker has not recognized the explosiveness – tagesschau.de

President Juncker would need to bring the national parliaments at the CETA agreement from the outset on board, instead of correcting now his bossy attitude, thinks . The dispute over TTIP would it have to be a warning.

A comment from Ralph Sina, ARD Studio Brussels

Late, but not too late, the EU Commission heard the Proposed referendum on United Kingdom membership of the European Union-warning shot. Jean Claude Juncker and its Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmström have realized just in time: Not everything that is purely legally correct, should be implemented politically. Even if all the top lawyers of the European Commission and the European Council are convinced that the free trade agreement with Canada is a pure Brussels affair; because he has to be not engaged with the regulations and responsibilities of the individual Member States and therefore only accepted by the democratically elected European Parliament, and also democratically elected government representatives in the Council.

are Even there is no free trade blank check for the Commission President. Just Juncker, who pointed out repeatedly that it sees itself as a political Commission President and not as bureaucratic enforcer of the EU treaties, would much sooner have to recognize the political explosiveness of CETA.

Because the free trade agreement with Canada is the blueprint for that agreement with the US to it by the EU Commission is all about: CETA is the prelude to TTIP. Because in the two agreements concerns the right of international corporations on a parallel justice. CETA is an attempt to bring the arbitration so-called from the twilight zone of secret justice. Those courts where multinational corporations can sue states on multibillion-dollar compensation if they see themselves cheated by political decisions to the profitable rewards of their investment.

CETA tried these dishes in the Robe to cases of ordinary jurisdiction: the judges are publicly appointed, the process to the public and in contrast to previous periods free trade there should be the possibility of a revision process. CETA is thus an attempt by the EU Commission to make the so-called investor-state arbitration in the EU and acceptable majority. And thus clearing the way for the trade agreement with the United States, of which the Commission hopes a major economic boost to the EU economy. Just because CETA therefore a prototype and pilot project – and much more than a trade agreement, in which it comes to beef and cheese export – part of this Agreement before national parliaments. That would Jean-Claude Juncker must recognize from the outset.

Unfortunately it is not the policy of the Commission as he claims to be. Otherwise he would have chosen a priori the way of offensive and CETA declared co-determination, instead of now to correct his bossy attitude. And just after the Proposed referendum on United Kingdom membership of the European Union decision of the British, the EU again weaken. Through much ado about nothing
