29.11.2006 Turbolenze per il consorzio Eurofighter, il caccia controllato per il 20% dall'italiana Finmeccanica. Il Governo saudita potrebbe annullare l'accordo con la Gran Bretagna per acquistare 72 Eurofighter Typhoon del valore 6 miliardi di sterline (9 miliardi di euro) e offrire il contratto alla Francia nel caso il Serious Fraud Office (SFO) inglese decida di continuare ad indagare sui conti svizzeri legati alla famiglia reale saudita nell'ambito di una più ampia indagine sulla Bae. Milioni di sterline provenienti dalla britanica Bae sarebbero stati ritrovati sul conto svizzero di Wafic Said, un broker milionario legato alla famiglia reale saudita - riporta il Guardian. La Bae ammette di aver congelato la trattativa con Riad. Un'altra brutta notizia per Finmeccanica che si aggiunge all'inchiesta negli Stati Uniti dove il vicepresidente della Commissione difesa della Camera, Curt Weldon, è accusato di avere approfittato della sua posizione per aver favorito la Agusta Westland - una controllata di Finmeccanica - nella vittoriosa gara da 1,7 miliardi per la fornitura del nuovo elicottero presidenziale Marine One.

28.11.2006 El fracaso de la Ronda de Doha debe servir para desmitificar algunas características de la OMC. Una de ellas es la propia idea de la OMC como institución que promueve el “libre comercio”.

12.11.2006 Forse, anzi sicuramente, non è la Puglia, come molti in questi giorni hanno sostenuto cavalcando il clamore sollevato dallo scandalo degli arresti per caporalato in Trentino. Però è lo spaccato di una realtà, (se più o meno diffusa saranno le indagini e le ricerche già avviate intorno al fenomeno migratorio nella nostra provincia a stabilirlo) che molti non ammettevano o più semplicemente evitavano di considerare. Per non contaminare l’effigie (troppo) idealizzata di un Trentino isola felice di lavoro, guadagni, convivenze, integrazioni. Dove i fatti sembrano però confermare, una volta di più, alcuni dei più gravi problemi riscontrati nel resto del paese, anche per quanto riguarda questo tipo di fenomeni.

10.11.2006 Guatemala's Congress did recognize that CAFTA would have negative social effects, but did not specify how. The promise to legislate compensatory measures was an empty gesture to get the measure passed. To date, no studies have been carried out or legislation passed, but Congress continues to comply with Washington's demands.
