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.
