Ein Bündnis aus Mehr Demokratie, Campact und foodwatch hat
Verfassungsbeschwerde gegen das EU-Handelsabkommen mit
Singapur eingereicht.
Das Abkommen stehe exemplarisch für eine neue Art von
Freihandelsverträgen, mit
denen weitreichende Kompetenzen auf die Europäische Union
übertragen würden –
ohne, dass der Bundestag beteiligt sei, erklärten die
Organisationen auf einer
Pressekonferenz am Donnerstag in Karlsruhe. </span></p>

nicht-legitimierte Handelsausschüsse könnten in Zukunft
Entscheidungen treffen,
die tief in das Leben der europäischen Bürgerinnen und Bürger
eingreifen, etwa
zur Kennzeichnung von Lebensmitteln oder zur Liberalisierung
von
Dienstleistungen, so die Kritik. Das Singapur-Abkommen
verstoße damit gegen das
deutsche Grundgesetz. Mehr Demokratie, Campact und foodwatch
forderten, dass
der Bundestag über Handelsabkommen wie den EU-Vertrag mit
Singapur abstimmen und
klar definiert werden müsse, welche Kompetenzen und Rechte auf
die EU-Ausschüsse
übertragen werden. Andernfalls würde die Demokratie geschwächt
und die Europäische
Union bei den Bürgerinnen und Bürgern an Akzeptanz verlieren.
Die
Organisationen gehen davon aus, dass die Entscheidung der
Karlsruher
Richterinnen und Richter maßgeblich dafür sein wird, wie in
Zukunft über
Handelsabkommen entschieden wird.</span></p>

ihre neuen

umfassenden Handelsverträgen neuer Generation, wie es zum
Beispiel das CETA-Abkommen
und auch das Abkommen mit Singapur sind, geht es nicht mehr
nur um klassische
Außenhandelspolitik wie den Abbau von Zöllen, sondern um
Regulierungen, die
tiefgreifende Auswirkungen „hinter der Grenze“ haben. Die EU </span><span

<span style="color:black">über diesen Weg ohne demokratische
Kontrolle in die
Mitgliedstaaten hineinregieren, so die Organisationen.
Besonderer Kritikpunkt:
Über viele Fragen zur Regulierung entscheiden neu
eingerichtete Ausschüsse,
sogenannte Vertragsgremien, unter Ausschluss des
Europaparlamentes. Beispiele
im Singapur-Abkommen sind der Ausschuss für Handel, der
unter anderem das Recht
hat, Kennzeichnungsregeln für Lebensmittel zu erlassen oder
der sogenannte SPS-Ausschuss,
der Anforderungen an die Schädlingsfreiheit beim Import und
Export von
Lebensmitteln tierischen Ursprungs festlegen kann. Die
Ausschüsse sind sogar
ermächtigt, den Text und die Struktur des völkerrechtlichen
Vertrags zwischen
der EU und Singapur zu ändern. Die Beschlüsse der Ausschüsse
sind
völkerrechtlich bindend.</span></span></p>
