Estimados Ministros de Comercio y Negociadores de los países del RCEP,
Asunto: Las normas de TPP del RCEP deben rechazarse
Este es un llamamiento urgente de 316 organizaciones de la sociedad civil de los países de Asia y el Pacífico que negocian la Asociación Económica Regional Ampliada (RCEP), que incluye a los 10 Estados miembros de la ASEAN con China, Japón, Corea del Sur, India, Australia y Nueva Zelanda.
Esta carta llega en un momento político muy importante, cuando después de las elecciones estadounidenses parece claro que el Acuerdo de Asociación Transpacífico (TPP) no será ratificado por los EEUU, a pesar de su gran impulso desde febrero de 2016 cuando el acuerdo fue firmado por los 12 países.
Está claro que el TPP ha sido rechazado por el pueblo estadounidense y también ha habido una oposición generalizada a él en otros países de TPP a ambos lados del Pacífico. De acuerdo con el texto del TPP, si los Estados Unidos no lo ratifican, la TPP no puede entrar en vigor.
Las actuales negociaciones en el RCEP son complicadas por el hecho de que hay 6 países que forman parte del TPP y se han hecho muchos intentos de importar textos del TPP e introducirlos al RCEP y a veces incluso un intento de ir más allá del TPP. Algunos ejemplos a continuación dan testimonio de cómo se está proponiendo la formulación de TPP en el RCEP.
En el capítulo de inversiones, además de algunas salvaguardias, se han propuesto todas las disposiciones sustantivas y principales de solución de disputas de inversionista a estado del TPP (ISDS) en el capítulo de inversiones del RCEP.
En los servicios, por ejemplo, se han propuesto en el RCEP todas las reglas sustantivas del capítulo de telecomunicaciones del TPP de acuerdo con el texto del RCEP que se filtró.
En el borrador de los términos de referencia de e-commerce del RCEP, todas las reglas del capítulo de comercio electrónico de TPP parecen estar propuestas y todas las ideas de comercio electrónico del RCEP parecen provenir del TPP, proponiendo una coincidencia exacta de los textos.
En el capítulo de propiedad intelectual (IP) del RCEP, Japón, Corea del Sur y otros están presionando a muchas de las principales disposiciones sustantivas y más sólidas de propiedad intelectual del TPP.
Con la desaparición del PPT, no hay justificación para adherirse a los textos del TPP en el RCEP porque éstos no tienen mandato. Esto es aún más irracional en ausencia del PPT, ya que los países asiáticos (incluidos los países menos adelantados (PMA) terminarían soportando la carga que otros países ricos del TPP (EEUU, Canadá) no tendrán que soportar más.
Los textos del RCEP que se han filtrado hasta ahora tienen muchos problemas fundamentales que afectarán negativamente a todos los sectores de la sociedad en los países del RCEP.[1]
Hacemos un llamamiento a los gobiernos que participan en el RCEP, para que reconozcan este momento crítico y no para que el contenido tóxico del TPPT se incorpore al RCEP y en lugar deben detener las negociaciones del RCEP.
Le instamos a revisar las relaciones comerciales entre los 16 países. Un nuevo modelo debe basarse en la cooperación y no en la competencia, lo que pone las necesidades de desarrollo de la región por encima de las corporaciones y pone a las personas y el medio ambiente en su centro, que reconozca que la política económica sólo puede funcionar si es incluyente, no únicamente en términos del impacto en los diferentes grupos, sino también si integra las preocupaciones sociales y ambientales del mundo.
