Prognozy dla globalnego Południa

The author contends that the TTIP agreement will harm countries in the Global South, specifically citing risks to Mexico's clothing industry and citrus exports from South Africa, Egypt, and Morocco. The text argues that the primary goal of TTIP is for the EU and USA to establish global standards and maintain economic dominance, potentially forcing other nations to accept unfavorable terms or splitting the world into competing trade blocs. This process is viewed as a move away from the transparent, multilateral trade order established after World War II.

• The TTIP agreement is expected to negatively affect the Global South through the diversion of trade flows and the establishment of new global standards by the EU and USA, potentially reducing exports for countries utilizing the General System of Preferences (GSP).
• Mexico is identified as the country likely to suffer most from the agreement; specifically, its clothing industry will face increased competition in the US market from European producers, particularly from Italy.
• The agreement may disrupt the citrus trade, as increased US exports to the EU could force current suppliers—South Africa, Egypt, and Morocco—to seek new markets.
• The author asserts that TTIP is not primarily about trade in industrial goods, which already have low tariffs, but is a strategic effort by the EU and USA to rescue their waning economic positions by imposing a new trade order and global standards on other nations.
• The shift toward bilateral and plurilateral agreements like TTIP and TiSA is seen as a threat to the post-war multilateral trade order, risking the creation of two opposing trade blocs and reinforcing structural injustice in the global market.
