c) The still pending Doha “Development” Round of the WTO.
d) The allocation of public goods through respective regulations in the sectoral GATS
agreement.
e) And the area of public procurement as a horizontal topic in the framework of the
WTO and the FTAs and especially
f) The issue of investment, likewise a horizontal topic of international trade regimes.
It is all about the bipolarity of regulation and deregulation: The deregulation of
the national market by the regulation of international trade regimes. In this way, in
the context of the interweaving of international treaties between MERCOSUR and
the European Union, a completely deregulated market would have again prepared
the ideal ground for cross-border profit maximization and the commercialization of
all thinkable spheres, by putting trade on a legal basis through the double or triple
safeguard of international treaties. The free play of the market will solve it all, as if
the sum of market-induced egoisms would in fact lead to an increased welfare for
society as a whole.
