Did you know there is minerals in the sands under the sea?

Like UFOs we still know little about then land under 70% of the earth surface under water.

This photo above is from 2016 of a fifth object above the trees on the right traveling at the same speed as the four fighter jets grouped in the left of the picture.

However we do know nature and pulverised rock up into powder and those sands have concentrations of valuable minerals in them.

Who owns these crown minerals is currently the largest property grab since the USA caravans and frountair people moved west.

In New Zealand we have a 1% royalty to the crown (it would be increased to 34%) and an estimated $20 trillion in crown minerals UN-allocate that sits on the tectonic plate extending out more than 200 miles.

But thorium is my internet here as it is 1,000,000 times more energy than a carbon bond and produces no CO2

The next revolution in human energy production.

Who controls the sands controls that wealth of energy

And as you know from Trumps candidacy we have political hacks making poor deals that plunge nations into debt burdens and squander resources.

TPPA is a legal frame work that New Zealand will not be able to go back on with deals around crown minerals and as it is set so low (1% as opposed to 34% royalty figure) we are setting New Zealand up to fail miserably and will result in generations on hand wringing. 

Write the the submission on TPPA over till 21 July 2016 and speak in person to the select committee about your concerns.

The earlier blogs have the contact details of New Zealand parliament.

Cheers.

Part One: General Policy Statement

The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement Amendment Bill (the Bill) is an omnibus Bill introduced in accordance with Standing Order 263(a). The amendments deal with an interrelated topic that can be regarded as implementing a single broad policy.

The Bill amends New Zealand law as part of the implementation of the free trade agreement named the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement between New Zealand, Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Singapore, the United States, and Viet Nam, signed at Auckland on 4 February 2016 (the Agreement).

Most of the obligations in the Agreement would be met by New Zealand’s existing domestic legal and policy regime. However, a number of legislative and regulatory amendments would be required to align New Zealand’s domestic law with certain obligations in the Agreement, and thereby enable New Zealand to ratify the Agreement. The Bill introduces amendments to the following enactments:

•   the Agricultural Compounds and Veterinary Medicines Act 1997, so as to extend current data protection from 5 to 10 years for data provided in support of an application for marketing approval for a new agricultural chemical product, as required by the intellectual property chapter of the Agreement;

•   the Copyright Act 1994, so as to extend the copyright term from life plus 50 to life plus 70 years, to provide a new regime for protection of technological protection measures, to provide new rights for performers, to provide additional protection for rights management information, to extend the border protection measures to allow the New Zealand Customs Service to detain exports of suspected pirated copyright works where a notice has been accepted from rights holders and to give ex officio powers to Customs officers to temporarily detain suspected pirated copyright works without a notice from rights holders, and to extend the protection of encrypted programme-carrying satellite and cable signals, as required by the intellectual property chapter of the Agreement;

•   the Customs and Excise Act 1996, so as to allow the New Zealand Customs Service to issue advance rulings on the valuation of imports to TPP importers, exporters, or producers, as required by the customs administration and trade facilitation chapter of the Agreement;

•   the Dairy Industry Restructuring Act 2001 (including Schedules 5A and 5B), so as to implement an export licence allocation system for the country specific quota access received for dairy products in the Agreement for the United States market;

•   the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996, so as to provide a 60-day comment period on proposed technical regulations that will need to 

be notified to the World Trade Organization, as required by the technical barriers to trade chapter of the Agreement;

•   the Legislation Act 2012, so as to ensure that New Zealand can promptly publish on a single Internet site all central Government subordinate instruments, together with an explanation of their purpose and rationale, to the extent required by the transparency and anti-corruption chapter of the Agreement;

•   the Overseas Investment Act 2005, so as to provide a power to make regulations to implement higher investment screening thresholds for overseas investments in significant business assets in order to comply with New Zealand’s obligations under the investment chapter of the Agreement and other related existing international trade agreements (being the Most- Favoured-Nation obligations in New Zealand’s existing trade agreements with China, Chinese Taipei, Korea, and Hong Kong, and the CER Investment Protocol with Australia). Under TPP and existing most-favoured- nation (MFN) obligations the screening threshold for certain non- government investors will increase from $100 million to $200 million. The threshold for Australia is currently $498 million for non-government investors and $104 million for government investors (indexed for inflation), which will remain unchanged;

•   the Patents Act 2013, so as to provide for the requirement to provide a 12- month grace period for patent applications and to allow for the granting of patent term extensions to compensate a patent holder if there are unreasonable delays in the Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand granting the patent, or an unreasonable curtailment of the patent term as a result of Medsafe’s marketing approval process for pharmaceutical products, as required by the intellectual property chapter of the Agreement;

•   the Tariff Act 1988, so as to enable regulations to be made which apply the preferential tariff rates agreed under the Agreement, to provide for the transitional safeguard mechanism required under the trade remedies chapter of the Agreement, and to provide for the emergency action (safeguards) mechanism and associated procedures required under the textiles and apparel chapter of the Agreement;

•   the Trade Marks Act 2002, so as to provide authority to courts to award additional damages for trade mark infringement, to extend the border protection measures to allow the New Zealand Customs Service to detain exports of suspected trade mark infringing goods where a notice has been accepted from rights holders and to give ex officio powers to Customs officers to temporarily detain suspected trade mark infringing goods without a notice from rights holders, and to require the courts in trade mark infringement cases to order the destruction of counterfeit goods except in exceptional cases, as required by the intellectual property chapter of the Agreement; 

 the Wine Regulations 2006, so as to introduce a standard that restricts the export of grape wine labelled as “ice wine” which is not made from grapes frozen on the vine as required by the wine and distilled spirits annex of the technical barriers to trade chapter of the Agreement.
