TPP -- Tufts University Assessment

Andrew Riddell made this Official Information request to Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade

The request was successful.

From: Andrew Riddell

Dear Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade,

I request copies of all reveiws and assessments undertaken by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of the report Trading Down: Unemployment, Inequality and Other Risks of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, Jeronim Capaldo, Alex Izurieta, and Jomo Kwame Sundaram, GDAE Working Paper 16-01, January 2016.

I ask that this request be treated as urgent because of the limited time available to prepare a submission on the TPP to the Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade Select Committee.

I confirm I am a New Zealand citizen living in New Zealand.

Thanks,

Andrew Riddell

I requested information to help with my submission to the Select Committee on TPPA. MFAT ignored the urgency request and it looks like it is delaying any answer until after Select Committee hearings.

Dear ESD,

Thanks for sending those five documents in response to my request [email address]

The three documents that are not emails are undated. What are the dates for each of the three documents supplied that isn't an email?

The email dated Monday 15 February 2016 -- you have deleted the identity of the sender of the email. That is fine in so far as I am not interested in the name of the person sending the email. However please provide a description of the organisation and country the person sending the email works for.

The email dated Wednesday 20 January is clearly a response to a query from a person most likely in Treasury about the "Tufts report". Why hasn't that originating email been included in this release of information I asked for. Are there other documents relating to the "Tuft's report" that haven't been provided?

There is an undated 10 page report titled "Comment on Trading Down: Unemployment, Inequality and Other Risks of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement". Despite this title the claim is made that most of the report is out of scope. Please provide this report in full.

There is a six page report titled "Modelling of Trans-Pacific Partnership: Summaries and New Zealand Outcomes" where a significant portion of the report is claimed to be out of scope. Why does the report include comment on Coates et al reference to the Tufts report, yet claim that another report that "counter Capaldo et al claims" is out of scope. Please provide the full report.

In the information relased, the statement is made in several places that "There is a considerable amount of empirical evidence showing the exact opposite. For example, in New Zealand as the wool sector declined people took new jobs producing dairy products, kiwifruit and wine." Please provide the empirical evidence supporting this statement.

Thanks
Andrew Riddell

Yours sincerely,

Andrew Riddell
