Eineinhalb Monate - ist die Zeitspanne um es mit der Planung zur zukünftigen wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung Europas vom viel belächelten US Thinktank Vorschlag auf die Lippen des französischen Präsidenten zu schaffen.
Und wie verkauft man das den folgenden zwei Generationen an komplett durchverarschten Jugendlichen die hier von den Hintergründen keine Ahnung haben?
Mit einer schönen Handgeste:
Bei sowas muss natürlich Andreas Treichl gleich persönlich einschreiten und den warnenden Finger heben, dass die deutschsprachigen Medien auch Meinungsfreiheit zulassen müssen, denn die waren gerade im Begriff, den französischen Präsidenten so abzukanzeln, dass sie “ok - wir richten unsere komplette zukünftige wirtschaftliche Entwicklung an den Vorstellungen von US Thinktanks aus” - als “nicht amerikafreundlich genug” in der Luft zerrissen haben.
Also alle Breitenmedien gleichzeitig. Zum Glück hat da Andreas Treichl noch rechtzeitig eingegriffen!
Was brauchst du mehr, als eine Handgeste, und ein paar aufstrebende junge WU-ler im Publikum, die in der Rede endlich das Buzzword gehört haben, das ihre zukünftige Entwicklung bestimmen wird.
Und wie gut sie sich als Partikularinteressenvertreter einer europäischen Gesellschaft, die aber auch ein wenig mehr verzichten wird müssen - machen werden!
Wobei Frankreich hat sich eine Konzession herausgenommen, gegen die zu voreilige Abwanderung der in Europa ausgebildeten Fachkräfte, und aufgrund der veränderten Finanzierungsbedinungen würde zukünftig eine gemeinsame europäische Industriepolitik benötigt werden.
Mit einem Teil, wir wollen das Sparguthaben der Boomer in spezifische sektorale Entwicklung innerhalb Europas lenken. Und etwas weniger “die US drängen uns das über staatliche Anleihenkäufe zu finanzieren” -- was dann natürlich wieder nicht funktionieren wird (freiwillige Privatinvestments der nicht Ideologen (ultra long term invested)) - und dann hat man zumindest -
- Entwicklungspolitik aus den USA in Europa etabliert,
- eine europäische Industriepolitik etabliert um zumindest Investitionskontrollmechanismen zu haben,
- und startet dann mit den Strukturinvestments durch die Notenpresse.
Hier die beiden Positionen im Vergleich:
James C. O’Brien - head of the Office of Sanctions Coordination at the United States Department of State since April 2022
This also goes beyond specific cases of Human Rights abuses or anti-corruption it’s it’s important for the global economy one of the the struggles we’ll all face is with the green transition where we realize that many of the resources needed to build electric cars and other things are around the globe and often locked up in long-term contracts now those contracts rest on a foundation often of corrupt behavior odious labor practices horrible environmental practices and other things that make them vulnerable to something from sanctions if we just simply designated the people who hold those contracts and tried to use it as a commercial tool I don’t think we’d be adding to the legitimacy of the International system. What we’d like to see is a strong set of norms and practices ultimately rules that govern the sort of contracts that allow for the global use of these commodities also for the betterment of the people who live near where these things are brought out of the ground so changing the supply chains that currently feed what’s going to be critical for the green transition is an area where sanctions have a role a, supportive role but just - but an important role in clearing the way for an announcement of what the global standards are now out of all that whether it’s in an economic case or human rights case, environmental or whatever the point of this is that, sanctions should be a piece of establishing stronger international norms and that’s a stance that the administration of which I’m part feels the U.S. needs to play a strong voice in but we can’t do it alone so we have to do this with our partners because this is not an area where one party can simply declare what the rules are so it’s an area where we work very closely with the European Union with our key allies in Europe and with other major states around the world and I think we’ll try to do more of it as we go.

The french presidents “On the future of Europe” Rede, eineinhalb Monate später:
“[…] we need reciprocity - and I want to insist on the fact that reciprocity will be core especially for the new generation of Trade Agreements we will have all this debate we know that, on MERCOSUR and some other trade agreements this is very well known and, it will be everywhere - in your press and my press in our parliaments. I do believe in openness I think that trade was very beneficial for the Europeans and very beneficial for most of the places of this world and one of the best way to fight against poverty, but you need a fair trade and reciprocity is part of it - and the free trade agreement must now obey a rational which goes beyond a purely economic logic. And I want to insist on at least three points.
First sustainability, since it’s simply impossible to conceive that our EU trade policy might not be fully sustainable we should stop signing and accepting trade agreements with governments and people which don’t respect Paris agreement in our biodiversity commitments - otherwise we put ourselves to overconstraines or at least constraints our producers following our requirements and our commitments, but we will accept to import products coming from places less demanding and not compliant with policy agreements and biodiversity agreements, this is a double whammy approach [DOPPELWUMMS!] because you will help them basically not to respect what you believe in, you will kill your industry, you’ll import on top of that. So let’s stop that and in this regards, the EU New Zealand agreement established a sort of gold standard in this area and should definitely be present in all future trade agreements, which means that you need - as an essential clause - not as I would say, just the confetti or something nice in the cake not the children, the cake, an essential clause of your trade agreement should be the respect of climate change and biodiversity commitments.
Second, its fairness and a balance in concessions to avoid any detrimental effects on the EU economy especially regarding the most sensitive sectors and third to clear strategic interests of the agreement for the EU.
How would the agreement provide privileged access to critical raw materials for example how would it contribute effectively to diversifying EU supplies in key sectors and so on, but besides that what we need definitely is a mirror mechanism and mirror measures to be sure that when you put constraints on your producers you ask the same to the producers coming from the country you are signing with. This is the only way to make this trade agreement sustainable and acceptable for your people and your industry.
My last point about this Doctrine is regarding cooperation. We have to push promote our agenda through a series of cooperation in order to strengthen and extend our multilateral rules and instruments and precisely to do more together and and push this European model, internationally.
First of this cooperation, we have to be the one to revitalize and extend the multilateral framework.
WTO is no more functioning, we need it - so we have to promote and repromote this agenda with the U.S. and some others, but um an agreement was found on the fight against illegal fishing in June 2022 the new head of the new chairman of WTO is making a wonderful job we have to help her to resume - is a very important agenda we had [past tense] - precisely in order to fix conflicts and to have clear mechanism in case of conflicts this is one of the best way to be an open world, more sustainable.
Second we have to ensure compliance by third countries with high standard of values to this end we have a very powerful tool our single market - as mentioned, but the external part of the single Market and the transformation of the EU has been very swift in this area too - it now makes use all of its policies well beyond a single channel of trade policy.
We have started working in this direction the instrument for instance to fight deforestation will for instance help tackle imported raw metals and processed products of which the production contributes directly or indirectly to deforestation.
I.e. if we create a sort of condition of access to our single market sometimes the fact that Europe cooperates on an agenda you find as essential, you are much more efficient.
With regard to respect of fundamental rights we know how much importance this is and this is exactly what we are promoting on due diligence forced labor and so on and this is very important.
I think this cooperative approach should be the one we use as well. Working all together to team up all the European I mean the European Union its member states the development agencies, European Investment Bank and European bank for reconstruction and developments, playing together and promoting precisely - our agenda, our interests and our values with third countries but this cooperation is absolutely key with third countries if we want to be more efficient.
This is exactly the same approach we want to promote for our development model in the June summit we will organize having all the Europeans working together to set up a new standard as you can see with this five pillars competitiveness and single market, industrial policy, protection, reciprocity and cooperation, we can set up a new economic doctrine which will allow us to reconcile creating jobs financing our social model dealing with climate change and being more sovereign [Get access to key resources cheaper.] and deciding for ourselves - and I think this is critical.
This is critical in this period of time where we have war and economy is being weaponized [so we need to do it as well to access key resources cheaper] and everything in our economy will be progressively a part of national security [get key resources cheaper] and I think this is critical if we want to preserve our open model to remain open and based on our approach of this capital market model, but if we don’t want to depend on the other ones and if we want to preserve our values and our European model which is based on humanism, an attachment to freedom and solidarity.
Here at Nexus 20 years ago Josh Steiner gave an important speech about the idea of Europe and he said Europe is made up of Cafe. This extent from Pesho’s favorite Cafe in Lisbon to the Odessa Cafe is haunted by Isaac Bubbles gangsters [?] and I fully believe, I very often mentioned, this moment of Steiner and I fully believe in this Spirit of Cafe as Steiner said - which thrives in our great continent from Lisbon to Odessa because, Cafe are closed where people are bombed and Cafe was a place where you can have controversies discussions you can share these agreements but at the very end you dream, how Europe is made of Dreams, but actual dreamers are very pragmatic - otherwise they finish with the dreams of the others. I’m a dreamer and idealistic, but I don’t want my dreams to be dreamed in other people’s language…”
SHIT. FUCK. LÜGNER.
Also wir halten fest. Das was die US wollen. Zur Stärkung von Partikularinteressen (Alpbach *hust*) in unseren Gesellschaften, die gleichzeitig weniger verbrauchen müssen als vorher (ebenfalls Teil der Rede), bei einer Europäisierung der Industriepolitk, und einer Europäisierung des Bankwesens um Sparvermögen in die “richtingen Channels” für Industrieentwicklung zu leiten (Andreas Treichl hat in Alpbach in den letzten drei Jahren komplette Eröffnungsreden zu dem Aspekt gehalten), um den Anteil an Basisfinanzierung der über die Druckerpresse geleistet werden wird kleiner zu halten als die US es von Europa wollen -- denn wir sind Träumer, aber auch pragmatisch, und wollen in französisch träumen, aber nur in offenen Cafes die nur dort offen sein können wo kein Krieg -- und französisch singen, und -- ich hab dann abgebrochen.
(Französisch singen ist im Transkript nicht mehr drinnen, aber es ist in der Rede. FÜR DIE TROTTEL.)
Rohstoffe nur zu uns in den Westen, Freihandel ausgesetzt, WTO ist past tense, und das Ganze noch ein bisschen kaschiert mit einigen Aspekten die noch so wirken als würden wir und noch an CBAM orientieren. Weil a bisserl was mit Paris commitment und Schutz von europäischen Schlüsselindustrien halt auch noch.
UND DIESE DRECKSVERARSCHE - Verzeihung dieses “Modell zur zukünftigen Entwicklung Europas - wegen irgendwas mit Werten” -
war ALLEN deutschsprachigen Medien nicht “amerikafreundlich genug” - sodass sie es ohne zu wissen was hier läuft (ich meine Macron redet hier auf englisch…), in den Boden schreiben haben müssen - bis der FUCKING Treichl einschreiten musste, um sie zu erinnern, dass sie hier nicht das Kind mit dem Bade ausschütten sollen, denn das ist 1:1 das was die US wirtschaftspolitisch von Europa wollten.
Mit ein bis zwei Handbremsen, dort wos innenpolitisch Probleme geben dürfte - ansonsten 1:1 die selbe außenpolitische Ausrichtung.
So verkauft man auch morgen noch seine Kinder.
Nicht in dem man es zur unter der Hand geforderten Gesellschaftslüge macht, dass sie in Taiwan für die Freiheit von Werten, für die USA sterben sollen.
- liebe verfickte Boomerarschlöcher - dies immer noch nicht in die Peeeenssiiiiooooon geschafft haben:
Hängt euch auf ihr Schweine, sterbt ihr unendlichen Arschlöcher.
Der Applaus der WU-ler im Plenum ist ohrenbetäubend.
edit: Kontext:
EU-New Zealand trade agreement:
The agreement, once it enters into force, will:
Create significant economic opportunities for companies, farmers and consumers;
Respect the Paris Climate Agreement and core labour rights, enforceable through trade sanctions as a last resort, and:
Cement EU ties with a like-minded ally in the economically dynamic Indo-Pacific region.

In Zukunft nennen wir das “wertebasierte Handelspolitik”.
Sehen wir uns die negotiation directives der EU für das Free Trade Agreement mit New Zealand genauer an:
RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED
The Agreement will recognise that sustainable development is an overarching objective of the parties and that they will aim at ensuring and facilitating respect of international environmental and labour agreements and standards. The Agreement should also contribute to the promotion of sustainable development and broader EU values, inter alia by including trade related provisions on labour and environment, including through corporate social responsibility, responsible governance of tenure of land, fisheries and forests, responsible agriculture investment and transparency. To address such measures, sustainable development should be taken into account throughout the Agreement, including in the form of a specific chapter on trade and sustainable development, covering both social and environmental issues.
The economic, environmental and social (including on women) impacts of the trade and investment provisions of the Agreement should be examined by means of an independent Sustainability Impact Assessment (SIA), which should be undertaken in parallel with the negotiations. The Commission should ensure that the SIA is conducted in regular dialogue with all relevant stakeholders from civil society. The SIA should be finalized ahead of the initialling of the Agreement and its findings should be taken into account in the negotiating process. It would aim to: (a) clarify the likely effects of the Agreement on sustainable development and climate, and the potential impact in other countries, in particular Least Developed Countries and, where relevant, overseas countries and territories and outermost regions; and (b) to propose measures to maximise the benefits of the Agreement and to prevent or minimise potential negative impacts.
Das hier war der relevante SIA Leitfaden, der damals noch nicht operationalisiert war - aber jetzt in Kooperation mit den US für Handelsverträge in Zukunft bindend werden wird:
Trade and Sustainable Development
The Agreement shall include provisions on labour and environmental aspects of trade and sustainable development of relevance in a trade and foreign direct investment context. It should promote the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development. It should include provisions that promote adherence to and effective implementation of relevant internationally agreed principles and rules, including the core labour standards and fundamental conventions of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and multilateral environmental agreements including those related to climate change, in particular the Paris Agreement, and climate change mitigation-related multilateral initiatives, such as in the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The Agreement should include a commitment by each Party to make continued and sustained efforts towards ratifying two ILO fundamental conventions: minimum age convention (C138) and Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to organize convention (C87).
The Agreement should reaffirm the right of the parties to regulate in the labour and environmental areas, consistent with their international commitments, and encouraging high levels of protection, including by taking into account the most environmentally advantageous options. It should reiterate the respect of the precautionary principle. It should include provisions for labour and environmental levels of protection not to be lowered in order to encourage trade and foreign direct investment. This should include a commitment not to derogate from or fail to enforce domestic labour or environmental laws.
The Agreement should promote a greater contribution of trade and foreign direct investment to sustainable development, including by addressing areas such as the facilitation of trade in environmental and climate-friendly goods and services and the promotion of voluntary sustainability assurance schemes and of corporate social responsibility, having regard to internationally recognised instruments and encouraging parties to use international practices, including OECD and sector specific guidelines.
The Agreement should also contain commitments promoting trade in legally obtained and sustainably managed natural resources, in particular in relation to biodiversity, fauna and flora, aquatic ecosystem, forestry products, fisheries and cover relevant international instruments and practices. It should also promote trade favouring low-emission, climate resilient development.
The Agreement should foresee suitable provisions for the effective implementation and monitoring of these provisions, as well as a mechanism to address and working towards resolving any disputes arising between the Parties, and should provide for civil society participation, including regular consultations and communication action.
The Agreement should include provisions addressing trade and foreign direct investment-related aspects of energy and raw materials. The Agreement should aim at ensuring an open, transparent, non-discriminatory and predictable business environment and at limiting anti-competitive practices in this area, exploration-production and access to infrastructure. It should aim at awarding specific rules of exploration, licenses for exploration and production, specific market access rules, nondiscrimination rules for third-party access to transmission and distribution networks, and dispositions on renewable energies. The Agreement should also include rules that support and further promote trade and foreign direct investment in the renewable energy sector. The Agreement should also enhance cooperation in the abovementioned areas. The agreement should aim at promoting the development of a sustainable and safe low-carbon economy, such as investment in renewable energies and energy efficient solutions.
Das wird jetzt bindend um überhaupt einen Freihandelsvertrag abzuschließen.
Folgendes Problem, siehe SIA Leitfaden:
There is, as yet, no universally agreed view about how human rights impact assessments should be conducted. Nevertheless, the last few years have witnessed a significant convergence of views about what good or best practice should include. The present guidelines, build on the recent academic literature on human rights impact assessments2. They form part of the third tier of regulatory guidance in the hierarchy of Better Regulation guidance3.
Analysis of the human rights impacts of a trade-related initiative sets out to assess – against the normative framework of human rights obligations as set out in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union4 (CFR) and a number of international sources5 – how trade measures which might be included in a proposed trade-related policy initiative are likely to impact: either on the human rights of individuals in the countries or territories concerned; or on the ability of the EU and partner country/ies to fulfill or progressively realise their human rights obligations.
Da helfen uns dann sicher gerne unsere Wertepartner (CFR?) aus um zu definieren, mit welchen Ländern wir aufgrund des neuen wertebasierten Freihandels überhaupt noch Handelsverträge abschließen dürfen.
In einer Koalition der Werteorientierten, sozusagen.
Wie sieht es mit dem Settlement aus?
The Agreement should include an effective and binding dispute settlement mechanism with an expedited procedure, in particular for the panel composition and the conduct of panel proceedings.
The dispute settlement mechanism should be transparent, open and based on experience gained in the WTO and in other Free Trade Agreements. It should include provisions for consultations and a
flexible and rapid mediation mechanism.
“Based on experience gained in the WTO” - irgendwie nett formuliert.

IV startet Kommunikationsinitiative: “Starke Partner für nachhaltigen Handel”
JA zu einem fairen Mercosur-Abkommen – Freihandel & Umweltschutz gehen Hand in Hand – Kommunikationsinitiative zur Stärkung Europas, das Partner gezielt auswählt & Freunde stärkt
Wien (OTS) - „Freihandel und Umweltschutz gehen Hand in Hand – in Südamerika und Österreich“, so Christoph Neumayer, Generalsekretär der Industriellenvereinigung (IV) zur Kommunikationsinitiative anlässlich des geplanten Freihandelsabkommens der EU mit den Mercosur-Staaten - Argentinien, Brasilien, Paraguay, Uruguay. Unter dem Motto „Starke Partner für nachhaltigen Handel“ will die Industrie in den kommenden Wochen und Monaten Aufmerksamkeit für die Bedeutung eines fairen Handelsabkommens zwischen der EU und der Mercosur-Region schaffen.Klima- und Umweltschutz im Fokus
„Österreich und die EU sind keine abgeschottete Insel, ganz im Gegenteil: Wir sind die, die die wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen am unmittelbarsten spüren und spüren werden. Neben dem Krieg in Europa sind wir auch in unserer Nachbarschaft, beispielsweise im Nahen Osten und Nordafrika, von Instabilität umgeben. Wir müssen den Blick in die Ferne schärfen, wenn es um zukunftsfitte globale Partnerschaften geht“, ergänzt Neumayer. Die Mercosur-Region ist außerdem reich an Rohstoffen und seltenen Erden, welche für die grüne Transformation in Europa – etwa in der Batterieproduktion – dringend benötigt werden. Das erfolgreiche Umsetzen des Freihandelsabkommens soll auch europäische Umweltstandards nach Südamerika exportieren: „Im geplanten Abkommen, verpflichten sich beide Partner zu einer Umsetzung der Pariser Klimaschutzziele.
