Wikileaks dah release draf perjanjian TPP. Sila kaji.

NBH

                   

Today, 13 November 2013, WikiLeaks released the secret negotiated draft text for the entire TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) Intellectual Property Rights Chapter. The TPP is the largest-ever economic treaty, encompassing nations representing more than 40 per cent of the world’s GDP. The WikiLeaks release of the text comes ahead of the decisive TPP Chief Negotiators summit in Salt Lake City, Utah, on 19-24 November 2013. The chapter published by WikiLeaks is perhaps the most controversial chapter of the TPP due to its wide-ranging effects on medicines, publishers, internet services, civil liberties and biological patents. Significantly, the released text includes the negotiation positions and disagreements between all 12 prospective member states.

    The TPP is the forerunner to the equally secret US-EU pact TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership), for which President Obama initiated US-EU negotiations in January 2013. Together, the TPP and TTIP will cover more than 60 per cent of global GDP

In the words of WikiLeaks’ Editor-in-Chief Julian Assange, “If instituted, the TPP’s IP regime would trample over individual rights and free expression, as well as ride roughshod over the intellectual and creative commons. If you read, write, publish, think, listen, dance, sing or invent; if you farm or consume food; if you’re ill now or might one day be ill, the TPP has you in its crosshairs.”

TPP juga merangkumi IP??

bayieng

at least..it's good to know that Malaysia actively opposed US hardline position.

from the press release:

The consolidated text obtained by WikiLeaks after the 26-30 August 2013 TPP meeting in Brunei – unlike any other TPP-related documents previously released to the public – contains annotations detailing each country’s positions on the issues under negotiation. Julian Assange emphasises that a “cringingly obsequious” Australia is the nation most likely to support the hardline position of US negotiators against other countries, while states including Vietnam, Chile and Malaysia are more likely to be in opposition. Numerous key Pacific Rim and nearby nations – including Argentina, Ecuador, Colombia, South Korea, Indonesia, the Philippines and, most significantly, Russia and China – have not been involved in the drafting of the treaty.

Exposed by WikiLeaks, TPPA draft backs fears of dearer drugs
By Zurairi AR
November 14, 2013

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 — Pressure is set to mount on Putrajaya over the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) after whistleblower group WikiLeaks released portions of the secretive trade deal that support fears it may force Malaysians to pay more for medicine.

According to the draft of Intellectual Property (IP) Rights chapter published online by WikiLeaks, the United States — seen as the key driver of the deal — is pushing for a five-year ban against the introduction of generic equivalents to patented medicine.

This would also apply from the date a drug undergoes marketing approval in the signatory state, rather than from the date it was originally patented.

In Article QQ.E.16 titled “Submission of Information or Evidence Concerning the Safety or Efficacy of a New Pharmaceutical Product”, it was proposed that a country shall not “authorise a third person to market a same or a similar product” in its territory for at least five years from the date of the approval given to the original product.

This may prolong the period that cheaper generic versions of the drug cannot be made available, a fear that members of the medical fraternity and opposition lawmakers opposed to the murky trade deal have previously voiced.

Malaysia was among the countries opposed to the proposal, together with Australia, Peru, Vietnam, New Zealand, Chile, Singapore, and Brunei.

The same section of the draft also sought for the same moratorium to apply to any similar generic medicine produced in territories aside from the signatory state without consent from the original producer.

The US also wanted a three-year ban to unbranded versions of patented medicine that contained a previously-approved chemical ingredient but is undergoing approval.

Articles in the document concerning US pharmaceuticals were followed by a blank placeholder for a specific provision applying to “biologics”, suggesting that the restrictions could be broadened even further by the US in later negotiations.

“Biologics” refer to organic medical products, such as medicinal vaccine, cells or tissues created through biological processes instead of through chemical synthesis.

In the US and European Union, almost all biologics are brand-named since generic versions—called “biosimilars”—were previously not authorised due to the complexity and difficulties in making them identical to the original producer’s version.

In August, Putrajaya vowed to reject any proposal that would block Malaysians from accessing affordable medicine in the agreement, noting widespread concerns raised over a likely surge in healthcare prices should the trade deal be formalised.

Local resistance to the TPPA has been such that it has united often-opposed groups and personalities — including former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and archrival Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim — under the umbrella of fighting Malaysia’s inclusion in the agreement

Critics have regularly raised concern over costlier healthcare from the TPPA, among others, saying the free trade agreement would enable pharmaceutical giants to patent medicines and obtain longer exclusivity.

The exposé by WikiLeaks yesterday comes as chief negotiators of each country are set to meet in the decisive summit in Salt Lake City, US on November 19 to 24.

The 95-page, 30,000-word chapter on copyright, patents and other intellectual property issues was obtained after the last round of TPPA meet in Brunei between August 26 and 30, and contains annotations detailing each country’s negotiating positions, unlike previous leaks.

WikiLeaks also noted that while Australia is the nation most likely to support US negotiators’ hardline position, countries such as Malaysia, Vietnam and Chile are the ones most opposed.

“If instituted, the TPP’s IP regime would trample over individual rights and free expression, as well as ride roughshod over the intellectual and creative commons,” WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange said in a separate statement.

“If you read, write, publish, think, listen, dance, sing or invent; if you farm or consume food; if you’re ill now or might one day be ill, the TPP has you in its crosshairs.”

The TPPA is a free trade agreement that has been negotiated by the US, Malaysia and nine other nations as part of the larger Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership since 2010.

Critics allege that the agreement has since been co-opted by powerful corporations to allow them to trample over existing consumer, worker and environmental rights in signatory countries.

Up until yesterday, it had not been definitively known how much — if any — of the allegations against the agreement were true.

WikiLeaks is an international whistleblower organisation that rose to prominence in 2010 when it released troves of confidential US diplomatic cables that revealed political intrigue, espionage and other — often embarrassing — revelations involving American embassies across the globe.

yang ni macam 'penjajahan' ala baru lah..

USA ni sebenarnya nak cari jalan untuk setelkan masalah hutang depa tu, jadi dia buat macam-macam perjanjian untuk protect dia punya interest. so USA create urgency / create environment supaya orang pandang dia ni tinggi; antaranya adalah:

1. pembinaan baru world trade center
2. draf TPP
3. peperangan, tapi americans sendiri tak setuju
4. penggunaan dolar USD.

cuba hang bayangkan kalu;

1. world trade center ni bukan di usa
2. draf TPP ni semua tak sign
3. takda peperangan
4. US dollar semua pindah pergi Euro atau matawang lain.

Ini akan meranapkan USA.

Leaked papers show TPPA puts internet providers under Hollywood’s thumb
By Zurairi AR

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 14 — Under the intense lobbying of Hollywood and America’s powerful recording industry, the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) will make local internet service providers (ISP) liable for any copyright infringement which happens through their channels.

The leaked draft of Intellectual Property (IP) Rights chapter, published online by whistleblowers WikiLeaks, showed that under TPPA, ISPs will also be made “copyright enforcers”, giving them powers to cut off internet access to users found to have downloaded pirated programmes.

Attempts by Malaysia and other countries to limit the liability of internet service providers as middlemen of piracy had so far been opposed by the United States—seen as the key driver of the deal—and its ally Australia.

Together with Vietnam and New Zealand, Malaysia had been the country most opposed to the proposals in Article QQ.I.1, including the proposal to provide legal incentives for ISPs to co-operate with copyright owners in deterring unauthorized storage or transmission of copyrighted materials.

Another section opposed by Malaysia and New Zealand included a proposal for ISPs to enforce a policy that will terminate the accounts of repeat offenders.

The leaked draft also included proposals to lengthen copyright terms, which will possible restrict access to scientific research, textbooks and journals, literature, art, and music.

Burcu Kilic, an intellectual property lawyer with US-based NGO Public Citizen, had compared the proposal to the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) bill proposed in its country.

Critics of SOPA claimed that the legislation threatens free speech and innovation, leading to Wikipedia, Google and around 7,000 other websites organising a service blackout on January 2012 to protest and raise awareness about the bill.

Plans to draft SOPA was postponed two days after the blackout campaign, as the US seeks alternative to the controversial bill.

“The WikiLeaks text also features Hollywood and recording industry inspired proposals – think about the SOPA debacle – to limit Internet freedom and access to educational materials, to force Internet providers to act as copyright enforcers and to cut off people’s Internet access,” Kilic told filesharing news site TorrentFreak.

Kilic also have described the proposal as reaching a “negotiation stalemate”, noting that several countries have opposed its points, proposed new points, and have failed to reach a clear final agreement on the issues.

Local resistance to the TPPA has been such that it has united often-opposed groups and personalities — including former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and archrival Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim — under the umbrella of fighting Malaysia’s inclusion in the agreement.

The exposé by WikiLeaks yesterday comes as chief negotiators of each country are set to meet in the decisive summit in Salt Lake City, US on November 19 to 24.
