IAHF List: See New Key US Codex Info Below This Announcement, Help Needed to Edit/Condense It. The web broadcasted Gary Null Radio Show on the Codex Vitamin Issue with guests from all over the world that was scheduled for tomorrow, December 20th has been RESCHEDULED for one week from tomorrow (Wednesday, December 27th) PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDAR! Not enough vitamin consumers, health food store owners and vitamin manufacturers truly understand the Codex vitamin issue due to spin control from pharmaceutical interests controlling vitamin trade associations world wide who've actively been misleading people as to what is really going on. NEVER BEFORE has a show like this been put together, and IAHF would like to thank those of you from the IAHF list, world wide who will be assisting as Gary Null's guests. Audio tapes of the broadcast will also be available, and we can use them as tools to awaken people world wide to the Codex threat as well as the EU Vitamin Directive Threat. The show will air from noon to one pm Eastern US time. That means you can hear it in the US Midwest from 11 am to noon, Mountain time from 10- 11 am, and West Coast from 9am-10 pm If you are in the UK or Ireland, this means you can hear it from 5-6pm If you are in Germany, France, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Holland or elsewhere on the European Continent you can hear it from 6pm- 7pm If you are in South Africa you can hear it from 7pm-8pm If you are in Sidney Australia or that time zone you can hear it from 4-5 am (Other Australian time zones figure off Sidney time) If you are in New Zealand you can hear it from 6-7 am The show was rescheduled to give the guests as well as Gary Null more time to prepare due to the complexity of this undertaking. You can hear the show at http://www.vitalcast.com/broadcasts/ where you can also hear several other alternative medical radio broadcasts from the USA, along with Natural Living with Gary Null which is the largest nationally syndicated health freedom radio show in the USA reaching millions of vitamin consumers from coast to coast. WHOA! ALERT: To hear the broadcast next week, You will need to download Windows Media Player which takes about a half an hour to download. Its free and you can get it from http://www.vitalcast.com/broadcasts/ but I'd advise doing this NOW so you'll have it loaded and ready to roll. You must be running Windows 98 or higher to load it. VOLUNTEER EDITORS NEEDED TO HELP CONDENSE CRITICAL US CODEX INFO In preparation for the show, I am working on condensing the following very interesting information, especially for AMERICANS as it explains how the FDA, Congress, and the pharmaceutically dominated vitamin trade associations are MISLEADING us on the Codex vitamin issue, trying to make us THINK it won't ever impact US laws. I welcome assistance from anyone who is a good editor to help condense this information: The primary way in which Americans are being misled on the Codex vitamin issue is this: We're being told by the FDA, Congress, and by the Vitamin Trade Associations and Citizens for Health that a finalized Codex vitamin standard "will NOT impact our laws, it will only impact our foreign sales of vitamins." This has confused many vitamin consumers who've sent letters to Congress requesting a Codex vitamin oversight hearing who've been told things by their Congressman or Senator that were scripted by the FDA which is deliberately misleading, and the same garbage is being echoed by the pharmaceutically dominated vitamin trade associations (CRN and NNFA) and by Citizens For Health (due to the money they get from pharmaceutical interests which compromise their objectivity.) Charles Raubicheck, attorney for NNFA stated that our vitamin laws are safe from Codex in a spin piece on the Codex vitamin issue that went out in NNFA Today in September of ' 99. He is misleading his membership, and he most likely wrote the article to defend the business interests of the largest members of NNFA, which are multinational pharmaceutical companies.... such as Warner Lambert, which owns Capsugel, an employee of which (Randy Dennin) is the Chair of NNFA's International Committee which determined NNFA's pro FDA, pro pharmaceutical, pro NAS, anti consumer position....... The "REASONS" given for this erroneous statement are as follows: 1. They're claiming that an exemption clause in the Federal Statute that implements the GATT Trade Agreement (now the WTO) "protects" our laws from harmonization to international standards. On PAPER they are "correct".... however in REALITY this widely touted "exemption clause" is nothing more than a paper tiger due to how the WTO's Dispute Settlement Body operates, and due to the immense pressure they can exert on Congress to change our laws. Thus it is TRUE that Codex can't DIRECTLY force changes to our laws. In THEORY we could "allow ourselves" to be hit with trade sanctions. In REALITY, no country can afford to be due to all countries dependence on foreign trade. No country on earth today has "AUTARKY" any more. "Autarky" means having self sufficiency within ones own borders. WHAT IS THIS ALLEGED EXEMPTION CLAUSE? 19 USC 3512(a)(1) Which says that "No provision of any of the Uruguay Round Agreements, nor the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance, that is inconsistent with any law of the United States shall have any effect." The statute further states that "nothing in the URAA (Uruguay Round Agreements Act) "shall be construed to amend, or modify any law of the United States, including any law relating to the protection of human, animal, or plant life or health, the protection of the environment, or worker safety, or to limit any authority conferred under any law of the United States.... unless specifically provided for in this act." So, are the FDA, Congress, CRN, NNFA, and CFH LYING when they claim this exemption clause "protects" our laws from harmonization to Codex standards? Strictly speaking, NO, they are NOT LYING, but they are being VERY MISLEADING and although their assertion isn't a LIE, strictly speaking, due to how things actually play out in WTO Dispute Settlments, they might as WELL be lying, and here is why: When a WTO Dispute Panel recommendation is based on the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures (SPS Agreement) , The SPS Agreement provides that members may either base their sanitary and phytosanitary measures on international standards, guidelines or recommendations, where they exist, or may introduce measures that result in a higher level of protection IF THERE IS A SCIENTIFIC JUSTIFICATION or which a country determines to be appropriate in accord with the provisions of the SPS agreement. So, what happens if a country doesn't harmonize their laws to the emerging highly restrictive Codex vitamin standard? Nothing would happen unless the country were challenged by another country, say a country wishing to sell high potency vitamins for far more money by prescription in the USA which might say that DSHEA posed an unfair trade barrier. The challenging country could go to the WTO's Dispute settlement body and say "The only legal basis for the USA to have a standard higher than the Codex vitamin standard is on a basis of SAFETY. They could then say "The standard on safety has been jointly determined by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Academy of Science combined in deliberation with the Scientific Committee on Food of the European Commission, and they have made rulings on Safe Upper Limits of vitamins and minerals which are much LOWER than what DSHEA allows. Therefor, the USA's vitamin laws EXCEED that which these bodies consider SAFE, and since the FDA agreed to those terms at the Codex meeting, the USA must either harmonize its laws, or face trade sanctions." The UL's are in the process of being agreed upon by the Trans Atlantic Business Dialogue, and the Trans Atlantic Consumer Dialogue, wherein neither body conducts business out in the open, neither are subject to the Freedom of Information Act, and the alleged TACD does not in FACT represent American consumers at ALL! The TACD includes such rabid anti vitamin opponents as Bruce Silverglade of Center for Science in the Public Interest, and Sidney Wolfe of Public Citizen, both of whom have stated publicly that DSHEA should be repealed! In an international forum both men would be quite in favor of American dietary supplement laws being harmonized to grossly restrictive international standards. When I challenged Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch to take up the Codex vitamin issue as a powerful way of calling the American public's attention to the dangers of harmonization, due to Sid Wolfes anti vitamin stance, they have steadfastly REFUSED to help IAHF get the word out on this! So, Nader's groups are both massively hypocritical in their stance against the WTO. They're against it, as long as it opposes their agenda, otherwise they're for it. Through this means Congress would have its arm severely twisted. Congress would be told by the Dispute Settlement Body that we can't justify our higher standards on a basis of safety, and because of how the DSB of the WTO is structured, (they only allow testimony from government officials such as Yetley of FDA and none from private citizens or NGO organizations) there would be no appeal! The WTO's DSB could impose massive trade sanctions against broad sectors of our economy unless we harmonized, and these trade sanctions could effect several large industries, all of which can send lobbyists crawling all over capital hill like ANTS. The media would assist the assault on vitamins with all kinds of propagandistic news stories to support the harmonization of our laws, and Congress will kowtow to the multinationals out of fear of losing PAC money that they need to run for reelection. Would the American people be able to offset such a powerful lobby? I'm seeing mostly APATHY when I try to call this issue to the Average American's attention right now, because its just not REAL to them. Unless more people wake up in TIME, it won't BE real to them until they start seeing Congress sell us out and harmonize our dietary supplement laws. If it takes THAT long for the American consumer and small vitamin companies to wake up, it will be too late. HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE TO DEFUSE THE CODEX BOMB? We have until March of 2001 to stop the EU vitamin proposal by helping the European health freedom fighters to WAKE UP vitamin consumers and small vitamin companies all over the EU! We must get vitamin consumers world wide to sign Josef Hasslbergers anti Codex, Anti EU Vitamin Directive Petition at http://www.laleva.org/petizione/english/petitioneng.html and we must request that Congressman Dan Burton hold a Codex vitamin hearing to examine this issue fully. WHY HASN'T BURTON HELD A HEARING ON CODEX VITAMIN ISSUE ALREADY? The main reason he hasn't is that some very powerful forces are fearful that if one were held, its impact would go far beyond just the issue of vitamins, it would also raise SERIOUS questions as to the wisdom of our being in the WTO, and it would provide a large impetus for Congressmen to cosponsor Ron Paul's bill The American Sovereignty Restoration Act which would get us OUT of the UN, and stop this destruction of our sovereign laws. IS THERE REALLY ANY PROOF THAT OUR LAWS ARE BEING HARMONIZED TO INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS or IS THIS JUST "CONSPIRACY THEORY" Evidence is found that our laws are being harmonized to those of the EU right now on the website of the Council for Responsible Nutrition in a press release from the recent Trans Atlantic Business Dialogue meeting where they flat out TELL us that CEO's from multinational pharmaceutical companies that are members of the "dietary supplement working group of the TABD have decided on how to harmonize American and EU vitamin regulations" All of this happened behind closed doors, with no chance for any consumer anywhere in the world to have any say in the matter, and because TABD is not a government body, they're not subject to the Freedom of Information Act, so there is no way to examine the specifics of the meeting: Americans and citizens of all 15 EU countries are being actively disenfranchised. The CRN contacts listed at the end of the press release refuse to communicate. Don't take my word for it, see it yourself at http://www.crnusa.org/shellnr 112000.html (Text below, plus much other evidence below that.)

These major breakthroughs were forged at the Sixth TABD CEO Conference in Cincinnati, Ohio, from November 16- 18. The working group approved the principles and components on definition, safety, and GMPs. The working group also agreed to continue its dialogue and that its next steps would be to: 1.Define types of claims and appropriate labeling for food supplements and develop criteria for transatlantic acceptance of credible scientific evidence to substantiate these claims; evaluate mechanisms for authorizing/approving claims; and assess conditions for exclusivity to encourage research and development. 2.Encourage the scientific bodies responsible for the evaluation of the safety of total intakes of vitamins and minerals (EU Scientific Committee on Food and US Food and Nutrition Board) to cooperate closely to harmonize setting upper safe levels for vitamins and minerals. 3.Define and recommend methodologies for setting maximum levels for vitamin and/or mineral food supplements on the basis of upper safe levels of total intake for these nutrients and intakes from other sources. The responsible regulatory bodies are encouraged to cooperate and establish one set of figures for maximum levels for vitamins and minerals in food supplements on both sides of the Atlantic. 4.Seek urgently, in light of the imminent proposed US rule on GMPs, transatlantic harmony for implementing common GMPs and quality standards. The working group also agreed to develop practical procedures to support GMP details; and seek acceptance, implementation, and appropriate enforcement. Progress toward transatlantic harmonization of dietary supplements was led by a team of supplement CEO's that included: Gale Bensussen, Leiner Health Products Inc.; William Van Dyke, B&D Nutritional Ingredients, Inc.; Johannes Burges, Hermes Arzneimittel; and Sonnich Fryland, Ferrosan. They were among the more than 120 industry leaders from the U.S. and the European Union who called on their governments to adopt a list of progressive trade liberalization measures at this TABD CEO Conference. The CEO's, meeting with senior officials form the U.S. Administration, the European Commission, the U.S. Congress, and the European Parliament, made recommendations on how best to boost transatlantic and global trade and investment. They focused on specific mechanisms for resolving trade disputes and expanding the U.S.-EU commercial marketplace, which at $1 billion per day in two-way trade, is the world's largest trading relationship. "The recommendations we have developed at this meeting will, if adopted by the governments, expand trade and investment opportunities for large, medium, and small companies by removing obstacles and inefficiencies in the U.S. and European regulatory regimes," said George David, chairman and CEO of United Technologies Corporation and US TABD chair for 2000. "Adoption of these recommendations will create jobs, raise living standards, lower costs and improve access to goods-that is, provide concrete benefits for business, for labor, and for consumers." The TABD is a results-oriented forum that seeks to increase transatlantic trade and investment opportunities through the removal of costly inefficiencies from excessive regulation, duplication and differences in the EU and U.S. regulatory systems and procedures in a manner consistent with sustainable development.

NAFTA Truck Ruling Imperils U.S. Public Safety Nov. 29, 2000 NAFTA's Plummeting Image: Now Safe Highways Are a Trade Barrier http://www.citizen.org/press/pr-gtw 17.htm The panel ruled that the U.S. is violating NAFTA by prohibiting unsafe Mexican trucks from roaming freely throughout the U.S. Under NAFTA rules, if the U.S. does not agree to open the border to Mexican trucks, it faces trade sanctions. CITIZEN SUMMIT ON GLOBALIZATION AND THE TRANSATLANTIC BUSINESS DIALOGUE Civil Society Events in Cincinnati November 16, 2000 The Transatlantic Business Dialogue (TABD) will be coming to Cincinnati November 16-18, 2000. The TABD is a coalition of U.S. and European CEOs that has been key in pushing World Trade Organization (WTO) expansion, and TABD provides an official path for corporations to make countless policy demands of the U.S. and European governments about removing "barriers to trade." Except what TABD corporations think of as "barriers" are what we cherish as our key worker protection, consumer safety, and environmental laws guarding the public health, protecting us from unsafe products, and keeping our air and water clean. The TABD will meet behind closed doors with the governments as usual in Cincinnati, but this time civil society will be there to greet them with a variety of educational events. http://www.citizen.org/pctrade/media/103100tabd.htm http://www.iahf.com US Laws Not Safe Section See article by Jeanne J. Grimmett of the Congressional Research Service titled WTO Dispute Settlement This article documents that the USA has lost numerous trade disputes and that due to the threat of trade sanctions Congress has harmonize our laws many times. Also see the article by by Chris McGinn titled Trade Body Threatens Democracy Which further documents that the USA has lost many trade disputes and that Congress has harmonized our laws. In ever case where the environment or public health have been at stake due to a trade dispute against the USA, we have lost, and Congress has harmonized our laws.

MAI NAFTA WTO Globalization MAI The MAI Shell Game The MAI principles are at the core of a multifaceted effort by speculators and footloose multinational corporations to remove public interest regulation on their activity. There are many venues in which they are simultaneously pursuing this agenda. These include the WTO, the proposed NAFTA expansion Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the TransAtlantic Economic Partnership (TEP), and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum. - Available on the Web MAI Analysis This analysis of the MAI is divided into two parts. The first will explain core MAI provisions as they appear in the most recent version of the MAI text. We consider provisions that the negotiating countries have agreed upon to be "core provisions." Some undecided elements of these provisions remain in the April 1998 text. We note these and describe changes that have been made relative to past texts. In the second part, the list of proposals submitted by different countries and the OECD on environmental, labor and other issues are analyzed. - Available on the Web Annotated MAI Text The April 1998 MAI Text with Full Annotation.

Whose Trade Organization? Corporate Globalization and the Erosion of Democracy, October, 1999, #E5564, $15 plus shipping & handling. WHOSE TRADE ORGANIZATION? Corporate Globalization and the Erosion of Democracy Preface by Ralph Nader By Lori Wallach and Michelle Sforza, Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch Imagine a Central American country being forced to choose between maintaining the UNICEF baby formula policy that has saved thousands of children's lives or facing an expensive defense in a Swiss trade tribunal and then possible trade sanctions for not protecting the trademark rights of a corporation whose label violates the UNICEF code. Imagine a powerful corporation "renting" a WTO Member nation to pursue its special interests - and kill a trade-based development policy - behind closed doors in Geneva to the detriment of tens of thousands of people's livelihoods and the rented country's own economic and security interests. Imagine, ten years of environmental activism reversed with the sweep of a pen in Geneva, Switzerland, where a WTO panel has ruled that a law protecting endangered sea turtles poses an illegal barrier to trade and where several countries are now threatening new challenges against a country's enforcement of international environmental treaties - this time the Kyoto Treaty on climate change. Imagine, a clean air regulation designed to reduce gasoline emissions is weakened because the WTO claims it could inadvertently hurt foreign gas producers Imagine, consumers forced by the WTO to choose between rescinding a popular food safety law or facing economic sanctions. No need to imagine. These are but a handful of examples of the WTO's real-life impacts on food safety, environmental conservation and protection and economic development documented in WHOSE TRADE ORGANIZATION? After a year of intensive research, Harvard-educated trade lawyer and Global Trade Watch Director Lori Wallach and Global Trade Watch Research Director and trade policy analyst Michelle Sforza document the WTO's actual impact on democratic governance, wages, jobs, economic growth, food security, access to healthcare, food safety, labor rights and environmental protection. WHOSE TRADE ORGANIZATION?, citizens, policymakers and public interest advocates can learn the following: How the WTO is used to pressure poor countries to abandon their efforts to make desperately needed medications more affordable through generic drugs and other policies. See page 119 (All orders must be pre-paid) How the WTO is being used to attack a European proposal to reduce electronics pollution. See page 30 How WTO rules may threaten U.S. school lunch and food stamp programs. See page 164 How WTO rules threaten millions with starvation by allowing agribusiness companies to patent seeds created over generations in villages around the world and then charge annual fees for the subsistence farmers who developed the seeds to have the right to plant them again. How an individual with a monetary interest in a WTO case was appointed to judge the case. See page 201 How Daimler-Chrysler and Ford Motor Company are using WTO threats to undermine a Japanese clean air law adopted under the Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change. See page 31 Why beleaguered U.S. steelworkers may face a WTO challenge to loan guarantees for the ailing U.S. steel industry. See page 157 How WTO rules allow corporations to secure exclusive marketing rights over medicinal remedies that have been used by indigenous groups for centuries. See page 108 How the threat of WTO action was used to pressure Guatemala to drop its infant health law enacting the WHO/UNICEF Code on Marketing Breastmilk Substitutes. See page 115 How a major campaign contributor effectively rented the U.S. government to mount a successful WTO challenge to Europe's preferences for Caribbean bananas, even though the U.S. doesn't export a single banana. See page 141 WHOSE TRADE ORGANIZATION? translates the WTO's trade rules into understandable prose for the layperson, policymaker and academic alike. It is designed with the knowledge that WTO rules and rulings affect everyone -- not just importers and trade lawyers -- and therefore must be accessible to everyone, especially everyday citizens who want to resist WTO encroachment into the decisions that affect their day-to-day lives. WHOSE TRADE ORGANIZATION? is being released in advance of the WTO's November 29-December 3, 1999, Ministerial Summit in Seattle so that those who will live with the results taken at that historic meeting are informed about the potential consequences. The book makes the case -- bolstered by more than 1,200 citations from a vast range of sources -- for the review and repair of the WTO so that it can no longer threaten the public safeguards and corporate/governmental accountability standards for which citizens have fought so hard. While the Clinton administration is seeking expansion of the WTO's jurisdiction through a new "round" of negotiations, Public Citizen is united with civil society groups worldwide calling for the organization's sweeping powers to be reined in, to put the tools of domestic policy decision-making back into the hands of citizens and their elected representatives.

This new arrangement is often labeled "economic globalization." In addition to its economic effects, globalization has major implications for domestic governance, and thus for public health, economic development, social and environmental policy.
