We did it! The company Razvoj golf will not receive compensation from the state for the Srđ project!
After almost six years, the arbitration court rejected the compensation request of the investor Razvoj golf in which the company claimed compensation from the Republic of Croatia for the condoisation of Srđ in Dubrovnik.
A planned free trade deal between the European Union and South American bloc Mercosur risks increasing demand for farm produce from Brazil at the expense of Indigenous people's land and rights, a leading activist said.
Brazilian president Lula da Silva reiterated his support for the signing of the agreement between the European Union and Mercosur but expressed his dissatisfaction with the additional terms proposed by the European bloc, calling them “unacceptable.”

A dispute between the European Union and major palm oil producers Indonesia and Malaysia over a new deforestation law will have no bearing on the two countries' stalled negotiations with the bloc on free trade agreements, a Malaysian minister said.
Colonial practices are still felt today, as capital-exporting states and their investors shape trade and investment rules while ignoring the populations of capital-importing countries.
