 UNCTAD-VII: NORTH SHOULD HELP SOUTH PREVENT CAPITAL FLIGHT.
The European Community Commissioner for north-south relations, Claude Cheysson, suggested Monday that industrialised countries should help arrest capital flight by helping third world countries "monitor quality of products which they by from U.S., as well as invoice where fraud is one of the main forms of capital flight".
Cheysson made this suggestion in his speech to UNCTAD-VII, and later followed it up at a press conference, pointing out that "fraud", (under-invoicing exports and over-invoicing of imports) was one of the main forms of capital flight.
Cheysson said that the TNCS were resisting the activities of pre-inspection of goods and invoices as by the SGS, since transfer pricing was one of the main methods used by them to maximise profits.

 Mitterrand, the Triumph of Appearances
“Cheysson, who lived in Algeria immediately after independence, was fascinated by the Arabs and had a warm comprehension of their problems”, says Jean-Pierre Filliu.
When visiting Syria, Cheysson would speak of the occupation of Golan; in Amman, he would raise the question of Jerusalem; without Cheysson, the natural gas deal with Algeria would never have been signed.
Cheysson, in contrast, did not hesitate to threaten to resign if he did not like something.

 WITH THE RETURN OF KISSINGER THE ‘ZIONIST LINK’ COMPLETED IN THE AMERICAN ADMINISTRATION   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
What did former French Minister Claude Cheysson mean when he said that a Waterloo awaited the American empire in the not-too-distant future as it pursued its plans for global domination?
Cheysson was speaking like Claude Julien of “American inanities”, especially in regard to Iraq.
Cheysson does not go far in his reading of the causes, even if he speaks emphatically and in depth of the consequences, unlike Jean Daniel, who foresees deadlock in the entrenched vision of the US Administration.
