The Free Trade Agreement negotiated between Central, Dominican Republic and the United States undermines the possibility that Costa Rica is developed. Irreversibly consolidated in a model that causes a slow economic growth leads to poverty, inequality and greater exclusion. This FTA benefits multinationals and a small group of entrepreneurs associated with domes traditional politics. This I know many who defend it. Therefore, the current President of the Republic refused to discuss during the campaign.
Al TLC Costa Ricans oppose all social classes and from many sectors. After rigorous studies of many scholars, three of the four Councils of the State University College have asked not to ratify. Among the entrepreneurs, farmers, women, the culture sector, intellectuals, students, cooperatives, workers, politicians, Catholic and evangelical leadership, there is opposition to the FTA.
Today we reached the end of the first stage the discussion of free trade agreement with the U.S. in the Legislature. Responsibly, our faction has sought by all legal means this discussion is of quality, ie, reflective, deep, friendly, unhurried and commensurate with the complexity and extent of the TLC file and generate the necessary inputs for a decision crucial for the future and development of Costa Rica.
Despite our attempts, advocates of the FTA have ignored our approach, ignoring and often underestimate our criticisms based on this Treaty and its implications for Costa Rica. Similarly, have on several occasions violated the right of amendment of and the deputies, and legislative rules to try to pass in a hurry this Agreement.
With this attitude, the proponents of this deal have not done anything to inspire strength and fill the spirit and principles that guide our struggle in Costa Rican politics, and our consistent opposition to NAFTA. With respect, we have told them this deal was poorly negotiated and that Costa Rica needs a national consensus and dialogue based on democratic principles and the common good as a nation to build a caring and inclusive society. The other way would be condemned to Costa Rica to the path of exclusion, confrontation and loss of social peace.
Tonight the group of deputies that drives the U.S. FTA will consolidate a dangerous path that violates the Costa Rican institutions. Late at night, guarded by hundreds of policemen, in a First Republic branch of the besieged and flown by helicopter to, consummate an undemocratic act.
Therefore, at the end of this first stage, we reiterate our opposition to this deal and denounce the citizenship and there is clear evidence of the flagrant and repeated violations of our institutions, the democratic principle, the parliamentary law and the values \u200b\u200bof the path Costa Rica. What bet that since the violent power of democratic institutions?.
The present Government, the President Oscar Arias and the defenders of this Agreement are not mandated citizen for constitutional reforms through a trade agreement of course.
reiterate our support for all groups, forums, organizations and individuals to express their will and right to demonstrate peacefully throughout the country.
We again call on the Government to consider the withdrawal from NAFTA and convene a national dialogue table for us to take together, as a country-a renegotiation strategy which defend the interests of Costa Rica. In the same so we urge national unity, through respectful dialogue, build a Costa Rican Development Agenda.
The PAC was created to help build an inclusive and supportive, that is and will be our compass. To those who want the path of national division, will remain a party one to Costa Rica, and hopes to continue to do politics with all and for all sectors and citizens.

National Front Supporting the Struggle Against the FTA cheat and trample
Costa Rica, December 10, 2006
opposition leader Otton Solis of Costa Rica sent a message to call for the formation of the National Front Supporting the fight against CAFTA. Costa Rica has resisted the ratification of NAFTA by the action of broad social movement and action of the political strength of the Citizen Action Party (PAC). The fraction of CAP is the second political force in the Legislative Assembly and together with other opposition factions have given their resounding NO to the FTA (Frente Amplio and PASE, Accessibility Without Exclusion Party). At this time the government and pro-government factions (PLN, PUSC, ML) in a desperate break the rules and legislative procedure so to ratify the FTA, not realizing that their actions increasingly used the project to fail and that anyway at the constitutional level the project has absolute nonentities who do insurmountable.

The Free Trade Agreement of Central America, Dominican Republic and the United States negotiated an attack on the possibility that Costa Rica is developed. Consolidated in an almost irreversible a model to cause a couple of slow economic growth has brought poverty, inequality and greater exclusion. This FTA benefits multinationals and a small group of entrepreneurs related to the leadership of traditional politics. This I know many who defend it.

Costa Rica, December 10, 2006
opposition leader Otton Solis of Costa Rica sent a message to call for the formation of the National Front Supporting the fight against CAFTA. Costa Rica has resisted the ratification of NAFTA by the action of broad social movement and action of the political strength of the Citizen Action Party (PAC). The fraction of CAP is the second political force in the Legislative Assembly and together with other opposition factions have given their resounding NO to the FTA (Frente Amplio and PASE, Accessibility Without Exclusion Party). At this time the government and pro-government factions (PLN, PUSC, ML) in a desperate break the rules and legislative procedure so to ratify the FTA, not realizing that their actions increasingly used the project to fail and that anyway at the constitutional level the project has absolute nonentities who do insurmountable.
then convening Complete message of Otton Solis
The Free Trade Agreement of Central America, Dominican Republic and the United States negotiated an attack on the possibility that Costa Rica is developed. Consolidated in an almost irreversible a model to cause a couple of slow economic growth has brought poverty, inequality and greater exclusion. This FTA benefits multinationals and a small group of entrepreneurs related to the leadership of traditional politics. This I know many who defend it. Therefore, the current President of the Republic refused to discuss during the campaign.

Wednesday December 6, 2006
PLN is violating procedures
• New "methodology" is an affront to the legislative procedure.
• President desperate to open discussion of NAFTA by the fund violating legislative procedures. • Francisco Antonio Pacheco
architect of the coup to democracy and the parliamentary debate.
The desperation to stem the collapse of NAFTA led to the President of the International Affairs Committee Jeanina Del Vecchio to violate the legislative process and the rights of the deputies and filed a motion to force a vote on the FTA before 12 December term was known beforehand that it was illogical and involved a clear breach of the legislative process.
"The motion tramples the democratic principle to going into the discussion of the merits of NAFTA has not come at the appropriate stage of the legislative process. Del Vecchio improvised session for discussion by the fund on Wednesday after the plenary, on Friday from 8:45 am and Monday, December 11th from 8:45 in the morning and also after the plenary, with respect to simulate such a procedure is only apparent: it is a hoax. "
At this stage of the procedure have been discussed only 55 points of which 6 have been members of the Legislature's previous ruling party. The abuses of the President and government pressures have prevented the debate and analysis.
"The PLN aims to deceive the Costa Ricans, 49 motions are equivalent on average to 7 motions per game and less of a motion by MP (0.89%). It's a lack of seriousness and that most Members have not made any comment in a project that involves the disappearance of the partnership model of development, "said the head of Elizabeth Fonseca fraction.
"invalidate the proceedings by saying that they will begin a discussion on the merits in three days against the clock. Promote the absurdity of going one step forward and two steps back: start the discussion by the fund and return the last day, determined by them, to see motions. Drive the discussion by the fund without knowing what will be the fund and that has not exhausted the processing of motions, "said deputy Alberto Salom fraction.
"This desperate resolve of the President shows that the National Liberation knows she violated the legislative process and now seek to amend on the road, but making other arbitrary, other abuses the process and the rights of the members" emphasized Ronald Solis.
The provision of the Commission is illegal, violates the right of amendment and participation of the deputies and the parliamentary minority rights, because instead of using the extra time available to hear the pending motions already submitted, some for several weeks, interrupted the process to conceal the arbitrariness of the earlier decision of the Chairman, Francisco Antonio Pacheco, who set December 12 as last date for voting of the bill in the Committee. The draft FTA contains 21 chapters, 2560 pages and approximately 9000 pages of attachments. Members compare
arbitrariness committed by Rep. Del Vecchio to put the cart before the horse: "We know that business groups and multinational pro-CAFTA are lobbying the government. But this is no justification for deceiving the public, the CAP is not complicit in this lie and this absurd, "said Ronald Solis.

violates constitutional right to health

• Health
privilege of rich
In Costa Rica, life expectancy is 79.1 years, more than three years to the United States. This indicator in any country is a sign of two things: first, its development, and second, the effectiveness of their social security or health system, because without health care in time there is no chance of cure and therefore there is no health , and unhealthy death is more likely ", said the deputy Lesvia Villalobos. For the deputy
Villalobos, thanks to visionary leaders who pushed for a system social security that provides medical services to all, also providing medicines, Costa Ricans have been able to have a high percentage of life expectancy, less than developed countries.
"While the FTA does not prohibit the purchase of generics, its provisions on patents and intellectual property would force the country to buy just that, only, original products," said Villalobos.
This situation is unacceptable to the legislator, because with 37% of its budget for medicines, the Fund purchased this year, only 1.93% of the original medicines, while the remaining 63% financing to buy, through generic, 98% of the remaining drugs. "With its budget of $ 70 million for medicines in 2006, the Fund complies with a basic list of 453 drugs, but if the FTA was in force, only three drugs could buy with that budget," the lawmaker stressed.
For Eriksson, the FTAs \u200b\u200bundermine the constitutional right to social security and health become a privilege of the rich. "I asked Oscar Arias and Eduardo Doryan, what will they do with the Costa Ricans who can not afford expensive medicines?," Will you die? Is unacceptable for our party are available so irresponsible and inhumane of life of people. The Costa Ricans have 30 years of enjoying the shelter and protection of our social security and the same number of years of access to medicines to cure their ills or address. We will not allow those without resources are unprotected by the state. We are interested in Costa Rica, no patents, "the lawmaker concluded.

President of Congress, former Minister Trejos and the Minister of Education recognize bias NAFTA
November 29, 2006
• Francisco Antonio Pacheco expressed his strong opposition to the FTA with Mexico, which made him change his mind on the FTA with the U.S.?
• Minister of Education acknowledged months ago that the FTA will impact on different areas as the system of health and agriculture, but now profess that the FTA will be a blessing for the country.
Trejos • The former minister claimed that during the negotiation would resist delivering telecommunications as a commercial, but in the negotiations gave the ICE to the transnationals.
Alberto Salom deputy confronted the plenary Assembly President Francisco Antonio Pacheco, regarding how some years strongly opposed the approval of the FTA with Mexico.
"Those who defended the treaty with more force were those who had negotiated the Comex both technical, political leaders previous government, to be argued out of courtesy, perhaps the argument most put to doubt the deputies and ministers, at first inclined to reject most was that it would not be a good signal to the world, as if the world cared about the national interest must take precedence over such reasons, "Dr. Francisco Antonio Pacheco, president of the Legislative Assembly.
And goes on to quote" In the case of Costa Rica, it is likely that the disproportionate prestige of the foreign, sometimes has beaten the national life and end up depriving thoughtlessly impose that agenda that reaches out and produces an almost universal sense of monotony, through it, the problems of the countries appear to be similar, the issues are the same, the solutions are equal, the differences become a matter of size dimensions outside of themselves, incidental, are a curiosity that leads to such well-known phrases starting to say in Argentina, while in New Zealand or Chile, because the plans to find the exit of the problems are not even fit in the dimensions of each country. This is not to mention if you want your story. "
And they would relate to the measures of each country, if the rescuer approach has the characteristics of one-size clothing and one wonders what has become the story?, is not everywhere said we were a different country? Francisco Antonio Pacheco, the free trade agreement with Mexico.
confronted the same arguments as wielding the Education Minister Leonardo Garnier Rímolo.
"Domestic producers of generics, which must now wait to market their products until the expiration of the term of protection, the exclusive, which represents the previous article, your business will be affected." Rímolo Leonardo Garnier, Minister of Education.
continues: "The commodification of knowledge. Not only would be illegal to decode a satellite signal to market, but it would be a crime to invent or import, or have equipment capable of decoding such signals. Not only would be illegal to make copies of an album to sell, but would be a crime to invent, sell, buy or have a machine capable of copying the contents of the disc. And it would be a crime to invent software decoder, or a biological process that sterile seeds cease to be ... "" ... It is precisely in this direction that moves the Free Trade Agreement, which adds legal restrictions against tax evasion of technological protection measures for intellectual property and severely penalize non-compliance. Paradoxically, as it prohibits even invent processes or tools that can jump the technological protection mechanisms, which, literally, not only slows down scientific research, but falls in a clear case of hypocrisy, because the same companies that today seek such prohibitions were the first to invent and market such devices. "Rímolo claimed Leonardo Garnier, Minister of Education.
On the issue of telecommunications the now Minister of Education stated that on telecommunications Annex 13 should never be there, should not be part of the free trade agreement, and they had said the president Abel Pacheco and his Minister of Commerce Exterior. For the sake of transparency and recognition in these negotiations were much more information available than in any previous negotiations, or in any other country in the region, this is a point that simply "Costa Ricans we feel cheated, and I think that reason. "
"The way I would not, and that is what has followed most of the countries of Latin America, with a few high-profile successes and failures, is the privatization, but that is not what is proposed in the TLC, but a cock-hen I do not quite understand, and apparently would keep the ICE as the primary provider, modernized and a bit less tied, but collaborating and competing with other potential providers of private services "Rímolo Leonardo Garnier, Minister of Education.
" When it is said that new borrowers should have access to the ICE network, without any discrimination and here also said that under the conditions governing a few years ago, which is absurd and, above all, at cost, what are we talking about? Finally, of course, would reject the whole free trade agreement with this point, perhaps it would be an overreaction, although it would be a deserved punishment for those who slipped this Annex in the last minute, I think more interest local groups than by the United States pressure "Leonardo Garnier, Minister of Education.
For his part, former Minister of Foreign Trade said:" It is true, in this negotiation are sensitive issues in some of the issues in the United States and Central America historically we have not agreed sensitivities are large, an example, telecommunications. We are absolutely clear, I repeat, absolutely clear that this is not an issue in trade negotiations, Costa Rica, why ? For by his inner nature Costa Ricans have a vision of the development strategy that gives telecoms a role that goes beyond the commercial role, and the discussion on this issue, we've had over the years along, it makes sense to be in the national context, and not in the international context in which we continue discussing.
Still, this will be a sensitivity in the negotiation, because usually in other countries this is an issue seen as nothing more than commercial, and, therefore, be part of the discussion between Central America and the United States, we have to penetrate the idea that to Costa Rica this issue transcends the commercial and, therefore, is not part of the negotiation, is not part of the negotiation, we will immerse the item, we will immerse the item, because it is a type of thing which, if not, there is no agreement, we will continue discussing indefinitely, but there is no agreement, I think they understand me, I think we understand very clear. "
" In agriculture there are sensitive issues, eighty-two percent of Costa Rica is an agro agro exporter, eighty-two percent of cultivated land in Costa Rica, is littered with products which are net exporters of the world including the United States, that is the size of the opportunity for a country setting in agriculture is aggressive, because not in vain is the net exporter of agricultural fifteenth of the world, obviously there is another part of the agricultural sector is still very protected, which is not in the same condition export potential for which this, rather than an opportunity, is a sensitivity. Well, obviously sensitive to manage, if it were a treaty immediate convergence of unrestricted free trade, these sectors would have problems, fortunately there is an immediate convergence sought unrestricted free trade, is a treaty that will be negotiated which instruments mount for better protection and care of these sectors, together with what resources and which programs "Alberto Trejos Zuniga, a former Minister of Foreign Trade.

"They lie who say you can avoid the production of weapons with NAFTA" NAFTA
Wednesday November 15, 2006
• The FTA should be removed from the Legislature to reconsider a new bargain that protects the country's strategic services and to eradicate any possibility of making weapons.
• wastage of public resources to convince people that already said no to the FTA.
According to the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties adopted in Costa Rica by Act 7615 of 24 July 1996, published in the Gazette on 29 August of that year, in Articles 26 and 27 states: " every treaty in force is binding upon the parties and must be performed by them in good faith, a party may not focus on the provisions of its internal law as justification for failure of a treaty. " One of the great jurists of international law at the University of Barcelona and the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and Rosa Casanova Urioste said that "a state can not adduce as against another state constitutional provisions of the latter and can only claim a right international and international commitments validly contracted. Moreover, a state can not adduce as against another its own constitution in order to evade its obligations under international law or treaties in force. "
The national laws are simple facts, expressions of the will and activity of the states, just as judicial decisions or administrative measures. All these are below the FTA.
Another lawyer with extensive experience in international law, Manuel Diez de Velasco says: "The law can not prevail, or on the obligations of a State under customary international law, or of its obligations under international treaty law."
This means that under international law can not put our country above our guidelines, decrees and laws, even our administrative, or our judicial decisions with respect to NAFTA. Olivier
Deputy Perez said that if you really want to avoid that in Costa Rica are built weapons factories there weapons, which are distributed and sold military weapons can only be achieved by removing from the international committee of the North American Free Trade. Or decrees, or laws or amendments to the law of weapons, not even a constitutional amendment requiring two legislatures for adoption can do, since what matters here is only to approve the FTA. "If not removed, both the people who defend the FTA and from the presidential and House have said that you can avoid the construction of weapons would be lying and you are lying to the people of Costa Rica," said Rep. Pérez González.
For his part, Rafael Elías Madrigal legislator, said that the Free Trade Agreement has spent a total of 8 billion colones promoting it in the media. "The majority of Costa Ricans and said no to this treaty, and continue to abuse public resources to convince people." And last Friday reported that the presence of Congressman Jorge Mendez of the bench ruling that imposed on students Pococí Technical College, having called for "a party" to indoctrinate them with the advantages of NAFTA. "

The motion stated: "That prompted the Ministry of Foreign Trade take the necessary steps in order to request and submit to the Commission the text of the CAFTA-DR in English. The text must be complete including attachments ".
The fraction of CAP has investigated the English versions of TLC that is handled in Guatemala and the United States, they contain the description in the form of non-conforming measures of the 50 states and two districts, which could imply that in reality the Treaty was being processed in Legislative Assembly, which is not actually applied.
This is of concern to the fraction of the CAP as the official publication that makes the Official Gazette of the projects and the law should be that will be implemented in the country. "This must be fully complied to enable citizens to be adequately informed about the scope of projects and of law, on the potential benefits or harm and thereby enabling the citizenry as a repository of sovereignty to exercise their constitutional right to demand accountability from their representatives who are transient in this First Branch of the Republic, but if the citizens and, if productive and social sectors of this country do not have with real and reliable information, how they define their positions and how they will exercise their rights properly, "insisted Rep. Maroto Bravo.
The PAC for the sake of transparency that negotiators did not show this FTA has requested this version because it may contain information that should be incorporated in the record, moreover, that it is essential that all Costa Rican citizens can better understand the commitments acquired by Costa Rica, is being limited, what are the hidden truths, half truths such as demonstrated in the office 759, with non-conforming measures not included in the version that handles the Assembly Legislature.

"This must be fully complied to enable citizens to be adequately informed about the scope of projects and of law, on the potential benefits or harm and thereby enabling the citizenry as a repository of sovereignty to exercise their constitutional right to demand accountability from their representatives who are transient in this First Branch of the Republic, but if the citizens and, if productive and social sectors of this country do not have with real and reliable information, how they define their positions and how they will exercise their rights properly, "insisted Rep. Maroto Bravo.
The PAC for the sake of transparency that negotiators did not show this FTA has requested this version because it may contain information that should be incorporated in the record, moreover, that it is essential that all Costa Rican citizens can better understand the commitments acquired by Costa Rica, is being limited, what are the hidden truths, half truths such as demonstrated in the office 759, with non-conforming measures not included in the version that handles the Assembly Legislature.

Suppressor Blueprints
Costa Rica does not know the full text of the FTA
Thursday November 9, 2006
Conforming Measures in all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico do not know the official text.
The official text released by COMEX and the publication of the FTA in the Official Journal does not contain non-conforming measures, folio 759 of the U.S. official text.
document published in the Gazette is silent as to the description of the non-conforming measure. The official English text is known in the United States and lowest in Guatemala does include it.
The FTA with the United States provides non-conforming measures in all 50 U.S. states plus non-conforming measures in the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, who do not know the official text and have a direct impact on the implementation of the FTA. "Once again this shows that NAFTA, the document is known here, is not complete, we are uncertain of the true implications of its ratification." Emphasized the deputy of the PAC, Sadie Bravo Maroto.
This treaty was agreed to negotiate under the logic of "negative list", this means that all sectors, all services, all economic activities and legislation of the country is subjected to TLC, except what is included in the "negative list" or "non-conforming measures." It is vitally important to know then what and under what limitations will run the rule for partnerships.
The text of the FTA, in the list of non-conforming measures in Annex 1 to the U.S. case, at page 759, provides that for all sectors in the affected obligations of "National Treatment "Most Favored Nation Treatment," "Local Presence", "Performance Requirements", senior executives and boards of directors and for all U.S. states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, at the regional level will be considered as non-conforming measures these "non-discriminatory measures."
is a need to know what the non-conforming measures of these states and districts, because in practice the exclusions have been made in these regions can maintain trade protection to stop at a disadvantage to our country, giving U.S. , obliquely, the possibility of applying a principle of "list positive "and circumvent the" negative list ", since it has the right to exclude in all States and also in Columbia and Puerto Rico, while Costa Rica could be subject to the" negative list. "
"Could it be that the Members who have spoken out in favor of the FTA, they do so aware that this information is missing? Do you know what is this strategic information? How criteria are issued for not knowing all the rules of the game? "Questioned the deputy Sadie Maroto Bravo
Doubts also should be evacuated by the business sector of this that consider that they are detrimental to the disapproval of the FTA. "Do you know where these measures in the FTA does not apply?, You know who and how you can develop, modify, continue, renew, subordinate, adopt, maintain or expand these measures inconsistent?, Do you understand under what conditions, as a country we are left with United States? "continued the legislator.
The controversial folio 759, gives the possibility to all U.S. states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico and all political subdivisions of a State of the United States to develop, modify, continue, renew, subordinate , adopt, maintain or expand non-conforming measures. This raises even more doubts and the fraction of PAC are questions whether those favoring NAFTA understand or know the NAFTA Implementation Act in United States.
For the PAC fraction of the English versions of TLC that is handled in Guatemala and the United States do contain the description in the form of this non-conforming measures of the 50 states and two districts, which could imply that in reality the Treaty is pending in the Legislature, which is not actually applied.
In Costa Rica the official text released by COMEX does not clarify this point, neither NAFTA contains the publication in the Official Journal. This is of concern to the PAC fraction of the target since the publication of projects and laws in the Gazette must comply with the principle of publicity. "This must be fully complied to enable citizens to be adequately informed about the scope of projects and of law, on the potential benefits or harm and thus enable the citizenry as a repository of sovereignty to exercise their constitutional right to hold accountable those transient are their representatives at the First Branch of the Republic, but if the citizens and, if productive and social sectors of this country have no real and reliable information, how they define their positions and how they will perform their duties correctly, "insisted Rep. Maroto Bravo.
The PAC for the sake of transparency that negotiators did not show this FTA has requested this information to be incorporated in the record, that all Costa Rican citizens can better understand you are committing Costa Rica, to is limiting and which are the hidden truths, half truths such as demonstrated in the office 759.
At the same time the consultation letters sent Deputy Chamber and the media, with a copy to the Ombudsman and the Costa Rican population.

Why Alabama Wear Number Helmet
The Technological Institute of Costa Rica (TEC ) also says NO to the TLC TLC
ANALISIS DE DIVERSOS ASPECTOS DEL TLC (ITCR)
III. Conclusiones y Acuerdos
Con base en el análisis precedente, el Consejo Institucional del Instituto Tecnológico concluye que:
El TLC no es un mero tratado de libre comercio, pues involucra aspectos no directamente relacionados con la actividad comercial. El TLC tiene como propósito institucionalizar un conjunto de mecanismos jurídicos, políticos y económicos de los cuales no podríamos salirnos sin grave perjuicio for our country. This means that, once ratified NAFTA, the ability to define and develop our own strategy for economic and social development becomes negligible.
NAFTA strategy responds to the United States to promote bilateral agreements, with negotiations to achieve greater advantages to advance the goals not yet achieved at the multilateral level on issues such as making commitments matter intellectual property and investments which are still under discussion in international forums, to promote U.S. interests and projects, while reducing the room for maneuver and direction for economies small and its ability to strengthen the multilateral level.
Under the FTA, the United States guarantee favorable terms, including the improvement of existing ones to expand businesses that are already highly competitive. For Costa Rica only supposed to compete with international products will improve the competitiveness of local firms as a mechanical result of NAFTA, no guarantee or secure anything that hypothesis.
The FTA with Costa Rica in a homogeneous regulatory framework along with all the countries of the region, reducing the possibility of different development policies as those that have historically allowed to build, together with other factors, their individual differences, due to the commitment that the country takes substantial institutional changes. Coupled with this, although the FTA establishes mechanisms for cooperation with other Central American countries to Costa Rica does not include a program, mechanisms and resources to that end, existing in other integration agreements and free trade, to address the asymmetries evident.
NAFTA decision-making process was characterized by mechanisms that hinder the participation of various sectors concerned, as there was reservation information and lack of political control of the negotiators. Moreover, the approach that has been raised through the ratification no options for dialogue and negotiation, to the extent that only leaves room for the end to approve or reject, without any possibility of amendments or bilateral renegotiation.
The most important result of NAFTA to Costa Rica is on tariffs and consolidating the preferential market access in the United States and the expansion of other products not covered by the initiative of the Caribbean Basin, which means specific opportunities for sectors related to export procedures and foreign direct investment (FDI). However, the openness fostered by NAFTA would mean shrinkage and disappearance of productive activities and therefore existing jobs, being the sector of small and medium farmers one of the most vulnerable.
The FTA provides the fundamental obligation of the contracting parties obedience to the existing national environmental legislation, but only allows you to change it if it is to improve the protection or the prerogatives of business related to the environment, but not his own same protection.
In telecommunications, NAFTA unleashed new forces that encourage further development in this area, but also unbalance the social scheme of universality and solidarity in the services that have so far been possible due to the monopoly control exercised by state, which is at serious risk if the treaty is ratified without any agreement in the Legislature for the text of the Law for Strengthening of ICE and Framework Bill ICE. This precludes a healthy adaptation of ICE to the new conditions of openness, because the treaty establishes a series of deadlines for the adoption of relevant legislation, so peremptory, that make that had not been carried out with the gradual required.
The alleged benefits of NAFTA, derived from the model of openness, attracting investment, liberalization and diversification of production and linked to macroeconomic and sectoral results, have been experiencing in our country since the implementation of Structural Adjustment Programmes. This model, however, has facilitated the concentration of wealth, social inequality, increasing the socioeconomic gap. With this background, it is reasonable to think that the eventual ratification of the FTA will deepen the situation in which the winners win and losers will continue to lose, both increasingly.
prior to the eventual ratification of the FTA, it is necessary to reformulate the "complementary agenda", so this is really a national agenda that promotes, internally, the conditions that enhance the competitiveness of our companies and protect and improve our social indicators. With respect to NAFTA, this agenda must take into account:
production structure in terms of employment generation and the country should not deposit all their energy in promoting exports and attracting FDI. Production for the domestic market is worth an intention and energy equivalent, if not higher, if you want to achieve economic growth also conducive to sustainable human development.
Review and strengthening of the legal and institutional framework related to environmental issues, permitting the resolution of existing problems, mainly in pollution issues and direct impacts on the environment for commercial, industrial and residential developments.
The agricultural sector consists of small and medium farmers urged political action is clear that include technology transfer, better education and training, access to credit and support for road infrastructure and services among many other conditions that are currently almost nonexistent, to prevent the opening fostered by the TLC to make them succumb.
is essential to strengthen the state's capacity for active surveillance of compliance with labor laws in Costa Rica, so that the commitments work established by the FTA are treated with the required responsibility. However, the gentlemen in the position should be clear to ratify the FTA as currently the project is to condemn our labor and environmental laws to stagnation and gradual disappearance.
should be given careful and ongoing monitoring of prices of chemicals and drugs to prevent and control its obvious gouging, which should go hand in hand with improved capacity specializing in intellectual property law that grants the country capacity to manage the complex issues in this field will face, regardless of whether or not to ratify the FTA.
order to safeguard the main elements of universality and solidarity that the dynamics of the free market does not contain itself in the field of Telecommunications, which were covered in the negotiations on the issue by providing special rules the country, it is essential strengthening the ICE within a new legal framework and the urgent creation of a regulatory authority.
. The processes of globalization have both positive and negative aspects and are aware of the need to integrate such processes, but could never support processes of globalization as one who seeks current-CARD-USA FTA, with clear and vast gaps ethical , Where success is measured in terms of trade and enrichment of groups or individuals, with market values \u200b\u200bthat determine the performance standards. We believe in the globalization of knowledge, cooperation, values \u200b\u200band resources, a globalization that promotes a model of inclusive development, solidarity, equitable and sustainable.
We are concerned mainly the young, women, and farmers and future generations, as they will suffer the consequences of this Treaty, whose market approach ignores the fundamental values \u200b\u200bthat underpin coexistence and social harmony

would not apply in indigenous territories if not first consulting
TLC Representatives reject indigenous consultation pro
CORDOVA JAVIER MORALES
editor
The Indians have expressed to the Legislature on previous occasions that the power given by law to be consulted before projects affect them as a people.
Members of the Committee on International Affairs to provide full support for the Free Trade Agreement between Central America, Dominican Republic and the United States refused to indigenous peoples the right to review this agreement as established in Convention 169 International Labour Organization. After
take several procrastinated and despite having a report of the Technical Services Department of the Legislative Assembly, which explained the requirement of consultation, members of the National Liberation Party (PLN) and the Libertarian Movement (ML) imposed its majority and rejected the request.
The motion filed by Rep. Jose Merino Broad Front, was voted down by the liberationists Janina del Vecchio, Fernando Sánchez, Federico Tinoco, Antillón Mayi, and the libertarian Evita Arguedas, while Elizabeth Fonseca, Francisco Molina and Ronald Solis of Citizen Action Party (PAC), voted in favor.
Indigenous representatives and specialists in the field showed disagreed with the decision, while expressed optimism as it would mean challenging the approval of the FTA process, or at least, non-implementation of the treaty on indigenous territories. MOST MECHANICS
to justify their votes, the MP and chairman of the committee, Janina del Vecchio, read out a series of points of why you should not be the query, including the Indians do not grow with modified seeds which will not be mobilized from their land and resource ownership is held in the Costa Rican government.
"In this sense, the right of indigenous peoples to control their knowledge traditional, to participate in its benefits and uses, the right autodeterminaci / ng, customary law to the use of biological resources, customary law and sui generis community rights are not affected at any point by the FTA, "detailed the Member of the commission.
Congressman José Merino strongly criticized the actions "mechanical" parties that support the FTA, because it believes that the consultation avoided at all costs, using other people's opinions as to the issue of lawyer Rubén Hernández and the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
"I am convinced that a mandatory referral that unfortunately most mechanical of that committee did not accept it, using requests to some so-called "experts" who attempted to legally justify why the consultation was not necessary, but what was said by people who know the subject well, besides the opinion of the Department of Technical Services constituted sufficient grounds for the indigenous community consultation was done, "said Merino. Evita Arguedas, member of the Libertarian Movement, denied the need for consultation because it believes that it has sufficiently informed the public about the TLC, and this also not affect the Indians. "The treaty itself is not affecting or not affecting a sector, plain and simple is a free trade agreement is a commercial tool used at the global and the country can always sharpen as the country then you need to do on the agenda of development and competitiveness, "Arguedas said.
DISRESPECT Despite disagreements on other issues show (see sidebar), indigenous leaders showed their anger and outrage at the decision of legislators to circumvent the obligation of Costa Rica since the ratification of Convention 169 in 1992. Despite Members' arguments, the various indigenous leaders showed their anger at the rejection of the consultation, believing that the FTA does affect their lives and territories. The president of the National Commission of Indigenous Affairs (CONAI), Genaro Gutierrez, said that with this resolution, the International Committee not only ignored Indian rights, but also disrespected his people. "It may be that an FTA will to happen and when we realized we sold everything, "said Gutierrez. Odir White, executive director of the CONAI, described as "false" the argument of the MPs regarding the consultation of the indigenous TLC was not necessary, since it does not affect them. "It is false, those who say that are ignorant people do not know the tradition, indigenous culture, much less the law. The FTA should be indigenous communities, "said Blanco. Geiner White, representing the National Indigenous Council, said the Legislature is inconsistent, as was submitted for consultation the draft Law on Self-Development" and the same criteria should be used as NAFTA. The representative of the table said there will be consequences for indigenous peoples and therefore must be consulted in a process similar to the consultation on the bill, he said. "We know that here is much stronger interest, but the Assembly did not can retract the fact consult the FTA, as the storyline may be the same, there is a direct involvement, "he said.
WITHOUT REFERENCE NO VALE
Cristina Zeledon and Javier Rodriguez of the American Indian Program at the Institute of Human Rights (IIHR) UNIVERSITY told that there is legal obligation consultation with indigenous peoples.
"Obviously the FTA affects them and anything that affects indigenous peoples, should be consulted, as the 169. Now, what's up to indigenous peoples?. What you have to do is put an appeal against that decision , but that is a matter which will enter into a legal process, "said Zeledon. According
Javier Rodriguez, a history of international projects and tenders which were annulled by the Constitutional Court does not consult the indigenous peoples.
"There is a history as the law of oil exploration in the Atlantic region, where the lack of consultation with this population, overturned an international tender. In other words, exactly the same criteria including the FTA, the Constitutional Court annulled it," said Rodríguez.
Rubén Chacón, Indian law expert at the Institute for Legal Research at the University of Costa Rica (UCR), is of the opinion that although the FTA does not say anything specific about the indigenous peoples affected by these side effects, and therefore would have to wait that concrete actions are presented to challenge the treaty.
does not believe that the consultation is legally binding, Chacon said there is a positive side, because if they make the query, the FTA can not have any effect within indigenous territories. "Deciding who does the query is almost free the indigenous territories of the application of any direct effect ... The Indians have more legal tools to stop production activities on their lands that we in our neighborhoods, "said Chacón.
The lawyer insisted that the International Affairs Committee should put a footer at the TLC, which states that indigenous territories There is specific legislation that may contradict the terms of the treaty.
However, the lawyer said that should not be many illusions about the FTA will not affect indigenous people, as this requires a legal system solvent, and in the case of the first settlers, the Costa Rican system has demonstrated all its inefficiencies.

Indigenous representatives and specialists in the field showed disagreed with the decision, while expressed optimism as it would mean challenging the approval of the FTA process, or at least, non-implementation of the treaty on indigenous territories. MOST MECHANICS
to justify their votes, the MP and chairman of the committee, Janina del Vecchio, read out a series of points of why you should not be the query, including the Indians do not grow with modified seeds which will not be mobilized from their land and resource ownership is held in the Costa Rican government.
"In this sense, the right of indigenous peoples to control their knowledge traditional, to participate in its benefits and uses, the right autodeterminaci / ng, customary law to the use of biological resources, customary law and sui generis community rights are not affected at any point by the FTA, "detailed the Member of the commission.
Congressman José Merino strongly criticized the actions "mechanical" parties that support the FTA, because it believes that the consultation avoided at all costs, using other people's opinions as to the issue of lawyer Rubén Hernández and the Ministry of Foreign Trade.
"I am convinced that a mandatory referral that unfortunately most mechanical of that committee did not accept it, using requests to some so-called "experts" who attempted to legally justify why the consultation was not necessary, but what was said by people who know the subject well, besides the opinion of the Department of Technical Services constituted sufficient grounds for the indigenous community consultation was done, "said Merino. Evita Arguedas, member of the Libertarian Movement, denied the need for consultation because it believes that it has sufficiently informed the public about the TLC, and this also not affect the Indians. "The treaty itself is not affecting or not affecting a sector, plain and simple is a free trade agreement is a commercial tool used at the global and the country can always sharpen as the country then you need to do on the agenda of development and competitiveness, "Arguedas said.
DISRESPECT Despite disagreements on other issues show (see sidebar), indigenous leaders showed their anger and outrage at the decision of legislators to circumvent the obligation of Costa Rica since the ratification of Convention 169 in 1992. Despite Members' arguments, the various indigenous leaders showed their anger at the rejection of the consultation, believing that the FTA does affect their lives and territories. The president of the National Commission of Indigenous Affairs (CONAI), Genaro Gutierrez, said that with this resolution, the International Committee not only ignored Indian rights, but also disrespected his people. "It may be that an FTA will to happen and when we realized we sold everything, "said Gutierrez. Odir White, executive director of the CONAI, described as "false" the argument of the MPs regarding the consultation of the indigenous TLC was not necessary, since it does not affect them. "It is false, those who say that are ignorant people do not know the tradition, indigenous culture, much less the law. The FTA should be indigenous communities, "said Blanco. Geiner White, representing the National Indigenous Council, said the Legislature is inconsistent, as was submitted for consultation the draft Law on Self-Development" and the same criteria should be used as NAFTA. The representative of the table said there will be consequences for indigenous peoples and therefore must be consulted in a process similar to the consultation on the bill, he said. "We know that here is much stronger interest, but the Assembly did not can retract the fact consult the FTA, as the storyline may be the same, there is a direct involvement, "he said.
WITHOUT REFERENCE NO VALE
Cristina Zeledon and Javier Rodriguez of the American Indian Program at the Institute of Human Rights (IIHR) UNIVERSITY told that there is legal obligation consultation with indigenous peoples.
"Obviously the FTA affects them and anything that affects indigenous peoples, should be consulted, as the 169. Now, what's up to indigenous peoples?. What you have to do is put an appeal against that decision , but that is a matter which will enter into a legal process, "said Zeledon. According
Javier Rodriguez, a history of international projects and tenders which were annulled by the Constitutional Court does not consult the indigenous peoples.
"There is a history as the law of oil exploration in the Atlantic region, where the lack of consultation with this population, overturned an international tender. In other words, exactly the same criteria including the FTA, the Constitutional Court annulled it," said Rodríguez.
Rubén Chacón, Indian law expert at the Institute for Legal Research at the University of Costa Rica (UCR), is of the opinion that although the FTA does not say anything specific about the indigenous peoples affected by these side effects, and therefore would have to wait that concrete actions are presented to challenge the treaty.
does not believe that the consultation is legally binding, Chacon said there is a positive side, because if they make the query, the FTA can not have any effect within indigenous territories. "Deciding who does the query is almost free the indigenous territories of the application of any direct effect ... The Indians have more legal tools to stop production activities on their lands that we in our neighborhoods, "said Chacón.
The lawyer insisted that the International Affairs Committee should put a footer at the TLC, which states that indigenous territories There is specific legislation that may contradict the terms of the treaty.
However, the lawyer said that should not be many illusions about the FTA will not affect indigenous people, as this requires a legal system solvent, and in the case of the first settlers, the Costa Rican system has demonstrated all its inefficiencies.

Congress lost the support among citizens
Surveys show that the FTA is increasingly unpopular
· Effort informational social organizations opens the eyes of the population.
· Costa Ricans are aware of the implications of this poorly negotiated NAFTA.
Support for Free Trade subsides with the passage of days. Polls show that the more informed citizenry is the jump doubts about the country that will impact the implementation of the agreement. "That's what I fear, is why the promoters of this deal have avoided at all costs an extensive discussion of this treaty negotiated behind the backs of the people" said the head of Fraction, Elizabeth Fonseca.
In 10 months another 20 percent of the population joined the vast majority of Costa Ricans who have doubts about the purported benefits stakeholders claim that this project is approved. Opinion polls also indicate that more than 110 thousand people would be willing to demonstrate in the streets against the FTA.
Pro TLC The former businessman and now Minister of Foreign Trade Marco Vinicio Ruiz, attributed the plummeting support for the FTA to have left out the advertising campaigns, "This means that the trade agreement requires a tricks and advertising to persuade Costa Rica, was not enough to confuse people with the delusion that advertising in the press, radio and television meant that NAFTA Working for Costa Ricans " Congressman Alberto Salom said.
The legislature believes that the information must be known and that the public has a right to know the consequences of poorly negotiated NAFTA. Furthermore, it has also shown that there are conflicts and in other Central American countries to certification, requirements and asymmetries of the United States. It has also been known as shallow as the conflicts in cases of Guatemala (in the case of chicken) and El Salvador (conflicts in textile). "Those who want to expedite the processing of the TLC hit so afraid of an informed citizenry, not for nothing the country has invested in public education and free. It is regrettable and deceived the people in a neighboring country with a media campaign which claimed that the FTA export guarantee pupusas. "Salom Echeverría said.
"The longer you for discussion, most people know and understand that this deal undermines the solidarity model paves the way to Costa Rica and exclusionary neoliberal has only benefited a small group in the last 25 years and that is again in power, "concluded the deputy Fonseca.
"A people ignorant is blind instrument of its own destruction." Simon Bolivar

Can You Use An Insulin Syringe To Give Heparin
Wall that marked the failure of NAFTA
By Anuradha Mittal (*). Recently
Canadian parliamentarians New Democratic Party and Bloc Quebec met with their U.S. and Mexican counterparts to state that the North American Free Trade Agreement, known by its acronym NAFTA, is a "continental tragedy." "If it was a success would not need the wall that the U.S. wants to build on its border with Mexico and would not need to militarize," said Victor Suarez Mexican legislature.
The debate over the fate of 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States continues, however, ignoring the structural issues that have forced them to leave their homes. Free trade agreements like NAFTA promised to create more jobs, trade surpluses and a better standard of living in the countries signatories of those treaties. But reality says otherwise.
corn grown in Mexico for 10,000 years. Under NAFTA, which was supposed to "level the playing field, Mexico opened its markets to U.S. imports, including among them the corn. Mexican farmers were then unable to compete against the big U.S. producers corn growers in his country the largest recipient of state subsidies, which come at a cost of 10,000 million dollars, something like 10 times more than Mexico's agricultural budget for 2000. This multi-million dollar U.S. grant for the production of U.S. corn dumping allowed in the Mexican market for a total of between 105 and 145 million dollars annually.
not surprising then that U.S. corn exports to Mexico have tripled, and cover nearly a third of the Mexican domestic market, leading to a crisis in the corn sector. The increase in imports has reduced real prices for Mexican corn by more than 70% since 1994. Falling prices mean for Mexican corn growers a drop in income which, in turn, causes the forced abandonment of their lands and migration. In 1997, according to figures from the United Nations Organization for Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), 47% of the Mexican population was engaged in agriculture. It is estimated that in 2010, that percentage falls to 18%.
Far from operating in a "level playing field", NAFTA has meant a death certificate for small farmers and peasants Mexican places at the wrong end of a steep and abrupt that field, however, is downhill to the producers of the U.S. Midwest.
Advocates of free trade agreements often include the creation jobs in Mexico as a success of NAFTA. However, the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), based in the United States, notes that while low-wage jobs and low productivity (eg unpaid work in family enterprises) has grown rapidly since the early 90, 1998 income of employees fell by 25%, while those of self-employed decreased by 40%. EPI indicates that wages fell by about 27% between 1991 and 1998, while total income per hour worked fell by 40%. In addition, the minimum wage lost about 50% of its purchasing power in the last decade. Wages industry also declined by nearly 21% during that period. So while NAFTA benefited a few sectors of the economy, especially the maquiladora industries and the very wealthy, actually increased inequality and reduced incomes and job quality for the vast majority of Mexican workers.
The failure of NAFTA with the U.S. failure to eliminate their distorting subsidies have forced millions of Mexicans to head to the border. The figure reported in 1995 of 2 million 500 thousand illegal immigrants from Mexico past the U.S. has risen to 8 million since then. Hoping for a better life, the Mexicans are at risk of crossing the border but only end up finding slavery in U.S. fields, being incarcerated at the border, to be the target of U.S. lawmakers of xenophobia and sometimes even find death in the attempt. In 2005 an estimated 400 Mexicans died trying to cross the border.
As no wall will be able to remove the pressure on the US-Mexican border a few simple questions arise: should be criminalized immigrants at our borders walled or we get rid of free trade agreements or renegotiate? Should we blame the victims of free trade agreements or ensure that the same way that capital and goods flow freely across borders can also do the hungry, the homeless and the dispossessed?

Certification and TLC
1) What is the certification process? It is a requirement of the United States who want to enter the CAFTA-DR (TLC).
2) What is the certification? In the case of Costa Rica, the Costa Rican enact or amend laws to meet the interests of the United States in relation to NAFTA. If this is not done, NAFTA is not effective.
3) When certification is required? Once the FTA was ratified by the Legislature. If the laws that accompany it do not satisfy the United States, they do not certify NAFTA.
4) Can the United States compel us to change the laws of the opening of ICE and INS, and any other, although we have agreed, if not satisfied? Yes they can, and if we do the FTA is not effective.
5) Will the Central American countries that were already approved the FTA process? Yes, everyone has been forced to these legal changes, some in spite of much resistance as Guatemala. Many these changes were beyond what we asked the FTA.
6) Could our Legislature, once the FTA takes effect change these laws required by the United States? Could do so only if those laws are "consistent" with NAFTA and trade liberalization are even greater. They also require that the other countries agree.
7) Could you refuse to Costa Rica this certification? No, because it is required by the internal law of the United States. If the country refuses, the FTA goes into effect.
8) Did he know the Costa Rican citizenship was this requirement? No, this requirement is kept secret.
9) ¿Fue este requisito parte de la negociación del TLC? No, no fue parte, pero nuestros negociadores conocían perfectamente su existencia.
10) ¿Se sabe lo que exigió Estados Unidos a otros países? No se sabe con precisión, pero los documentos los tiene COMEX, según sus propios informes
11) ¿Compromete esto la soberanía de nuestro país? Después de los diez puntos anteriores no creo que a alguien le quepa la menor duda.
12) ¿Qué debemos hacer?
a. Exigir de COMEX toda la documentación relacionada con el proceso de certificación mencionada en el Informe del Ministro de Comercio Exterior del año 2006 pages 10 and 11, including all required amendments to our laws, decrees and regulations. B.
Require that the certification process takes place before the ratification of NAFTA, to know exactly what we promise. C.
Require Members of all factions detailed, accurate and documented information on this certification process. Carlos A.

In a marathon session characterized by repeated disruptions to exhibitors and limiting their MPs to ask about these demonstrations, the session of the Committee on International Affairs in record breaking time.
In the first part of the session was the audience to representatives of the Union of National Insurance Institute (UPINS) and it was not possible to deepen their representatives exposure to the threat of the lawmaker who said Vecchio Ugalde prolong the session beyond 11 o'clock at night.
In the second part in the hearing UCCAEP limited to four minutes exposure responses to questions from Members of the PAC and other parties. Again, the President of the International Affairs Committee prevented deepen the questions and answers once again blocking the discussion.
Against ICE and the INS, UCCAEP representatives presented a bleak picture of the country and called for the opening of both institutions to improve their business and trade. Also dismissed the capacity of the national economy grow and create new jobs, "that is very serious, noting that without NAFTA, our economy does not work puts us in a situation vulnerability, so the PAC insist that work is needed before a national development agenda, "said the head of Fraction, Elizabeth Fonseca.
is regrettable and put all their hopes on a free trade agreement goes beyond trade is neither free trade nor just obviously have not measured the consequences of the issue involving legal and environmental issues, just to mention two of the many issues of concern to our faction.
"The groups that supported NAFTA and supported the millionaire advertising campaign that promotes employment for costarricenseseste no scientific studies where it is found that will produce more jobs, Unlike the groups that oppose the FTA and are concerned about researching, analyzing and documenting evidence of the risks and impacts of the FTA, including employment, "said Francisco Molina
" It's a shame, I phrased the questions not given response, you can not even exchange ideas with this dynamic. It is also worrying to see that these groups do not have a national vision for moving forward, all you see in the future is the FTA, "said Ronald Solis,
