TTIP : Wikileaks publie de nouveaux documents sur les négociations
Il en ressort à travers ces documents une initiative orchestrée contre les services publics au profit des grandes entreprises multinationales à travers des concessions de 20 à 25 ans.
Tout nouveau service ou tout service issu de la division d’un ancien service public devra mis sur le marché. Ce délai de concession laisse la part belle à l’exploitation sans l’obligation d’investissement.
Le document confirme la privatisation des services publics et l’impossibilité de faire marche arrière. Comme l’Argentine a pu le faire en remettant la main sur certains secteurs stratégiques qui avaient été privatisés et dont la gestion -faute d’investissement notamment- s’est avérée calamiteuse.

Wikileaks publishes three secret documents on the negotiation of TTIP and TISA between the European Union and the United States, and other countries, agreements negotiated in secret. He published a new secret text.
It emerges through these documents initiative orchestrated against public services to large multinational companies through concessions of 20-25 years.
Any new service or service resulting from the division of a former public service will put on the market. This delay makes great concession to operate without the need of investment.
The document confirms the privatization of public services and the inability to reverse. As Argentina was able to do by delivering hands on some strategic sectors that were privatized and whose fault management-including investment-proved disastrous.

Today, WikiLeaks released the secret draft text for the Trade in Services Agreement (TISA) Financial Services Annex, which covers 50 countries and 68.2%1 of world trade in services. The US and the EU are the main proponents of the agreement, and the authors of most joint changes, which also covers cross-border data flow. In a significant anti-transparency manoeuvre by the parties, the draft has been classified to keep it secret not just during the negotiations but for five years after the TISA enters into force.
Despite the failures in financial regulation evident during the 2007-2008 Global Financial Crisis and calls for improvement of relevant regulatory structures2, proponents of TISA aim to further deregulate global financial services markets. The draft Financial Services Annex sets rules which would assist the expansion of financial multi-nationals – mainly headquartered in New York, London, Paris and Frankfurt – into other nations by preventing regulatory barriers. The leaked draft also shows that the US is particularly keen on boosting cross-border data flow, which would allow uninhibited exchange of personal and financial data.
TISA negotiations are currently taking place outside of the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) framework. However, the Agreement is being crafted to be compatible with GATS so that a critical mass of participants will be able to pressure remaining WTO members to sign on in the future. Conspicuously absent from the 50 countries covered by the negotiations are the BRICS countries of Brazil, Russia, India and China. The exclusive nature of TISA will weaken their position in future services negotiations.
The draft text comes from the April 2014 negotiation round - the sixth round since the first held in April 2013. The next round of negotiations will take place on 23-27 June in Geneva, Switzerland.
Current WTO parties negotiating TISA are: Australia, Canada, Chile, Chinese Taipei (Taiwan), Colombia, Costa Rica, Hong Kong, Iceland, Israel, Japan, Liechtenstein, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, South Korea, Switzerland, Turkey, the United States, and the European Union, which includes its 28 member states Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
China and Uruguay have expressed interest in joining the negotiations but so far are not included.
