TiSA lautet die Abkürzung für das internationale Handelsabkommen, das parallel zum viel bekannteren TTIP ausgearbeitet wird. TiSA steht für "Trade in Services Agreement". Heißt: Mehr Wettbewerb im Dienstleistungssektor. Kritiker befürchten jedoch, dass der Dienstleistungsgedanke künftig dem Profit weichen muss.
With much fanfare, Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada announced that trade negotiators have concluded negotiations on the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), even organizing a signing ceremony with the provinces on September 26 to “finalize” the deal.
Das geplante Freihandelsabkommen TTIP zwischen der EU und den USA könnte Entwicklungsländern schaden, warnt die Fair-Trade-Bewegung. Gegen US-Waren hätten viele Produkte keine Chance.
Im Schatten von Ceta und TTIP: Das weltweite Dienstleistungsabkommen Tisa ist weitgehend unbekannt. Gegner fürchten, EU-Löhne könnten gedrückt, riskante Finanzprodukte zugelassen oder Datenschutz ausgehebelt werden.
That the World Trade Organization (WTO) has been in the grip of a systemic crisis since 2008 is well known. Notwithstanding relatively minor successes at the Bali Ministerial in December 2013, the WTO's negotiating function remains effectively stalled. The Nairobi Ministerial, set to take place in December 2015, is not likely to yield systemic solutions, notably to break the Doha Round impasse. The longer this negotiating stalemate endures, the more the WTO's foundations will crumble, particularly the much-prized jewel in its crown: the Dispute Settlement System.
To help researchers investigate relation extraction, we’re releasing a human-judged dataset of two relations about public figures on Wikipedia: nearly 10,000 examples of “place of birth”, and over 40,000 examples of “attended or graduated from an institution”. Each of these was judged by at least 5 raters, and can be used to train or evaluate relation extraction systems. We also plan to release more relations of new types in the coming months.
