Some Background On TPP<\/b><\/div>\n
Dave Felice\u2019s September City Matters column about Flobots raging against the TPP highlighted the creative efforts being made to counter the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement. But what is its background and how will it affect us?<\/div>\n
The TPP was negotiated in secret but with significant corporate input and some from civil society. Members of congress, however, were denied access to the documents for years. When the drafts were made available, members had to go to a secure site to read them and were not allowed to take notes. This is in contradiction to Art. I, Sect. 1.8 of the Constitution, \u201cThe Congress shall have the Power \u2026 to regulate Commerce with other Nations\u2026\u201d<\/div>\n
The TPP goes well beyond the provisions of previous trade agreements. Among its more onerous provisions:<\/div>\n
\u2022 Each signatory government would have to conform its domestic policies to the TPP\u2019s terms.<\/div>\n
\u2022 The \u201cInvestor-State Dispute Resolution\u201d mechanism would allow corporations to demand compensation for loss of \u201cexpected future profits\u201d and bypass domestic courts. (More than $440 million has been paid to corporations under NAFTA-style deals.)<\/div>\n
\u2022 Companies would have special rights and protections to offshore investments and jobs.<\/div>\n
\u2022 The import of meat, fish and poultry not in compliance with U.S. safety standards would be allowed, and food labels could be considered \u201ctrade barriers.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u2022 Drug firms could challenge medicine pricing for Medicaid, Medicare, and the Veterans Administration.<\/div>\n
\u2022 New Wall Street regulations would probably be rolled back and bans on risky financial products prohibited.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Internet Service Providers would be required to \u201cpolice\u201d user-activity and cut people\u2019s access, thereby jeopardizing internet freedom.<\/div>\n
President Obama wants the TPP passed in the lame-duck session. An educated public must deny him this legacy.<\/div>\n
Harriet Mullaney, Park Hill<\/i><\/div>\n
Harriet Mullaney is a member of the Denver Justice & Peace Committee and former member of its advocacy committee.<\/i><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
