Notes

  1. Available at http://www.imprenta.gov.co/gacetap/gaceta.nivel_2

  2. A right of petition (derecho de petición), the fundamental right established in article 23 of the Colombian Constitution, grants everyone the right to receive a swift answer when requesting public documents from the Colombian authorities.

  3. http://www.tlc.gov.co/publicaciones.php?id=727; http://www.corteconstitucional.gov.co/relatoria/

  4. The Andean Community, officially known as the Andean Parliament was created through the Parliament Constitutive Treaty of 1979. In 1996, the Cartagena Treaty gave it supranational functions as a body for political control in the Andean Integration System. Members of this Community are Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Chile.

  5. Decree 533 of 1994 of the Ministry of Agriculture.

  6. In 2012, through law 1518 Colombia also attempted to subscribe to the UPOV-91 Convention. However, this law was declared unconstitutional due to the lack of prior consultation with Colombian ethnic communities.

  7. By means of Decree 1562 of 1962.

  8. Sorghum, rice, cassava, barley, potato, cotton, oats, soy, corn, beans, peanuts, sesame, wheat and pea.

  9. The Ministry of Health also played an important role in the negotiations. However, because it didn’t directly influence the matter studied here, I do not examine it here.

  10. Indicators of the lobbying power of multinationals in the US can be found in the webpage of the research group Center for Responsive Politics, http://www.opensecrets.org/industries/contrib.php?cycle=2012&ind=A07

  11. The debate of the other three offences took 32% of the sessions, and the remaining 59% was used for formal proceedings.

  12. These figures are arrived at by quantifying information in the gazettes, through the use of atlas.ti.
