Tras tensiones, Ecuador y Colombia abren la puerta al diálogo. Conflicto prolongado afectaría a ambos países, dicen analistas

Después de una semana de tensiones, los gobiernos de Ecuador y de Colombia abrieron la puerta al diálogo y a intentar desescalar la situación, que comenzó cuando el presidente de Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, anunció la imposición de aranceles del 30% a los productos colombianos a partir del 1 de febrero porque considera que Colombia no hace lo suficiente en materia de seguridad. El Gobierno de su homólogo Gustavo Petro rechazó la medida y, en respuesta, anunció que dejará de vender energía a su vecino.

En medio de este intercambio de reclamos, la canciller de Ecuador, Gabriela Sommerfeld, dio a conocer este viernes que ha habido acercamientos entre ambos países y que están negociando la fecha para un encuentro próximo.

Desde Davos, Suiza, Sommerfeld dijo a periodistas que Colombia propuso que la reunión se realice este domingo y su país planteó que sea otro día.

“El Ecuador ha hecho una contrapropuesta de fechas para la siguiente semana para poder mantener diálogos, pero insistir en la posición del Ecuador sobre este tema tan importante”, señaló la funcionaria, en alusión a que el Gobierno de Noboa insiste en que Colombia debe reforzar la seguridad en la frontera común para combatir el narcotráfico y otros delitos.

Ecuador argumenta que Colombia, el país donde se produce más cocaína en el mundo, debe aumentar la presencia de fuerzas de seguridad en la zona fronteriza para evitar la circulación de drogas o narcotraficantes.

CNN contactó este viernes a la Cancillería de Colombia para pedir comentarios sobre el posible encuentro con autoridades de Ecuador y está en espera de respuesta.

Mediante un comunicado emitido la madrugada del jueves, la Cancillería rechazó los señalamientos de Ecuador sobre que Colombia no hace lo suficiente en materia de seguridad.

“En el marco de la cooperación binacional, es pertinente resaltar el intercambio continuo de información, los procesos de capacitación y entrenamiento conjunto, así como la ejecución de operaciones entre ambos países. Estas acciones han permitido obtener resultados operativos de relevancia, impactando de manera significativa las estructuras y economías criminales de carácter transnacional”, dijo.

Frente a los señalamientos de Ecuador, Colombia dice que el Gobierno de Petro ha redoblado sus tareas para combatir a los cárteles del narcotráfico, destruir laboratorios e incautar drogas.

Analistas consultados por CNN este viernes consideraron que las tensiones entre los gobiernos de Noboa y de Petro se explican por varios factores —como el contexto político interno de Ecuador y de Colombia— y que, de prolongarse, tendrían impactos negativos para ambos países.

Para José Alvear, analista político y experto en temas energéticos, Noboa anunció los aranceles para “ganar margen político interno”, pues “envía una señal de respaldo a ciertos sectores productivos nacionales que se sienten desplazados por importaciones colombianas” e “intenta contener el déficit comercial y generar ingresos fiscales adicionales, aunque de forma temporal”.

“Más que una guerra comercial abierta, estamos frente a una tensión administrada. Ecuador y Colombia mantienen una relación económica altamente dependiente, a ninguno de los dos países les conviene escalar el conflicto”, dijo Alvear, al tiempo que estimó poco probable que el conflicto escale a “cierres totales”.

“A ninguno de los dos países les conviene romper una relación comercial históricamente integrada”, insistió.

California Attorney General sues Trump Administration over restarting oil production in Santa Barbara County

Kraig Pakulski 0 35 Article rating: No rating

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. (KEYT) – On Friday, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced his office has filed a lawsuit in federal court alleging the the Trump Administration illegally took over plans to restart oil production in Santa Barbara County.

The lawsuit, filed in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, argues that three orders issued by federal regulators about restarting oil pipelines: taking over exclusive regulatory authority of restart plans on Dec. 17, issuing an approval of restart plans on Dec. 22, and granting an Emergency Special Permit to restart pipelines on Dec. 24, were all unlawful.

The pipelines in question, now known as Line CA-324 and Line CA-325, transport crude oil pulled from the sea floor in the Santa Barbara Channel by offshore platforms and stored at the Las Flores Canyon processing plant west to Gaviota and then north and east to Pentland Station in Kern County.

Line CA-324, formerly known as Line 901, has remained dormant since it ruptured, causing the 2015 Refugio Oil Spill which impacted 150 miles of California coastline and destroyed thousands of acres of shoreline habitats.

"Ever since a catastrophic oil spill at Refugio Beach in 2015 led to a court-ordered consent decree, CAL FIRE - Office of the State Fire Marshal has been responsible for overseeing the repair of the lines that caused the spill, which are now operated by Sable Offshore Corp in Santa Barbara County," shared Daniel Villaseñor with the California Natural Resources Agency. "The Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is asserting these lines are within their jurisdiction and will assume regulatory authority of the lines going forward, and that the Office of the State Fire Marshal no longer has any role to play in keeping Californians safe from potential problems with these pipelines."

After Sable Offshore submitted official paperwork to restart oil production with the California Office of State Fire Marshal (OSFM) in September, the state-based safety agency responded the next month that there were still unmet conditions before an official restart.

Instead of meeting those conditions outlined by the state safety regulator, Sable Offshore informed investors that it had determined that the pipelines connecting the Las Flores Canyon facility to Pentland Station in Kern County are technically an interstate pipeline under
