    Once again, I can’t believe 800,000 people survive selling pirated merchandise and that there’s no way they can survive selling shirts and shoes that don’t have a trademark on them. Surely the economy of Guatemala doesn’t depend on the sale of Britney Spears CDs and Steven Seagal DVDs.

    Ypour press note dont mention nothing about the position of Colombia and Peru. Both nations had signed a bilateral agreement for free trades with the United States. This is a positive signal for the purposes of bettel life conditions for these people.

    The fundamental tenets corresponding to the article entitled "Trade agreements come under Sonia scanner" is indeed illuminating. It is understood that India’s performance in the food processing industry and allied industries are a direct spin-off of its production in the agricultural sector in which it is self reliant.
    While the raison d’etre corresponding to the FTA’s is fully understandable in terms of this era of globalization having regard to India’s commitment to WTO, the government should prima facie carefully scrutinize all the provisions corresponding to a given free trade agreement. Otherwise, India’s overall export performance might witness a decline, making India reliant on imports in the agricultural sector and other allied sectors.
    Consequently, response to the foregoing by the Congress President is a step in the right direction and should be welcomed.

    800,000 people survive selling bootleg merchandise? There are only 12 million people in Guatemala! Considering only about half the population are working age, that’s about 15% of the country working selling crappy CDs and shirts to each other. Is that possible? Are they really going to lose their little shops if they stop selling polo shirts without the little polo player on it? Can’t they make a shirt without a trademarked logo? As if that’s what makes a shirt really high quality, the stupid polo player. Guatemalans make great clothing, why do they want to buy copies of our crap?

    Estudio este tema. Me agradaría contactar a los autores de este artículo. Tres temas : a) la omisión del principio de no discriminación excluye tanto al Convenio 111 como al Convenio 100 de la OIT, relativo a igualdad de remuneración; b) Human Right Watch ha subrayado con justa razón la discriminación de la mujer trabajadora. Hay que considerar igualmente aquella de los trabajadores indígenas o de otros orígenes étnicos, los discapacitados, los trabajadores de edad y muy en particular los inmigrantes. Lo vemos en EEUU; c) estoy buscando información sobre los efectos en el empleo, y en la calidad de éste, del ATPA/ATPDEA, en los países andinos interesados. Agradeceré la información que se me proporcione. Me permito sugerir la lectura de mi texto : "Normas del trabajo y comercio internacional. Una discusión recurrente", Capítulos del SELA N° 66, septiembre-diciembre 2002. Es un análisis de las disposiciones laborales de la Ley de Comercio 2002 de EEUU, que es la guía de las negociaciones comerciales norteamericanas.

    This line of thought reflects the strong foothold of certain groups, deeply entrenched in the society of Pakistan, who would like to thrive on continued conflict between India and Pakistan.

    But has it affected the Guatemalan industry? Why can’t anybody write an article with some information and not just speculation? Don’t they have a single example?

    what they don’t tell you is the government took payoffs to negotiate a low per barrel oil price years ago with oil companies years ago.

    en los productos en los que EEUU propone patentes para los articulos que contienen ADN de origen en plantas latinoamericanas no deberia proceder por que es propiedad de nuestros ancestros toda la medicina tradicional y sus derivados por lo tanto ningun producto que resulte de la mescla de estas plantas se le deveria conseder patente
    como esta susediendo en el caso del reclamo de un americano sobre el frejol amarillo que lo saco de la simple mescla de dos tipos de porotos latinos y ahora reclama como su invencion una variedad de frejol amarillo este el frejol que nosotros hemos comido desde siempre

    2%? that’s what you wil ’give’ to the korean people? i’m sorry sir, but no amount of camps and social programs the rotaries can put on will ever compensate for the desolation that will rain on this country as a result of free trade between the fatter u.s. and the lean koreans. kyeolsa bande.
