I'm wading through TiSA and a few things stood out to me: Any business
setting up shop in a foreign country is allowed to bring in unlimited
amounts of cash, and cannot be restricted in terms of how many shops it sets
up, nor its output/quantity. No municipality can establish laws that treat
these foreign businesses different to local businesses (so, the foreign
company can't be charged higher tax rates, for example).
So, if you're a mayer in a small town in, say, South America... you can't
stop a Wells Fargo from being on every block, a T-Mobile from replacing the
country's telecom, or a Fed-Ex from taking over the job of the local courier
. Or, a water company wants to come in and start overtaking the city's:
under TiSA, they have to be given the same treatment as the host country.
And of course, the global trade agreement's law supersedes the authority of
local laws. I believe there were provisions granted for local countries to
pass laws concerning services... but only if they ensure continuation of
these foreign services.
The rules also nullify concepts like foreign companies having to have
significant local country co-ownership, which are usually in place to ensure
the profits earned from citizens don't simply evaporate from the local
economy, but are rather fed back into the population in some form.
It's exceptionally hard to stop predatory pricing in this model, given that
these foreign businesses have no restrictions on how much they can dump into
their overseas branches. They can then wait it out and watch every smaller
business crumble, or, worse yet, the public service that was previously
owned by the government (and thus, to some extent, the citizens).
You know the WalMart effect here in the US? Just think of that, but on a
global scale.
I read somewhere (not sure how reliable it is, or in which clause so don't
quote me) that one of the agreements shred any semblance of labor laws
because companies can introduce the idea of "contractor labor" (thereby
bypassing things like worker safety standards and min wage).
Multinational companies are so predominantly from very specific Western
corporations that such trade deals have the power to turn the entire globe
into a place of "have countries" and "have not countries." |
