Greenpeace Leaks Big Part Of Secret TTIP Documents (bbc.com)
An anonymous reader writes: The environmental group Greenpeace has obtained 248 pages of classified documents from the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) trade talks. The group warns EU standards on the environment and public health risk being undermined by compromises with the US, specifically that US corporations may erode Europe's consumer protections. The TTIP would "harmonize regulations across a huge range of business sectors, providing a boost to exporters on both sides of the Atlantic," writes the BBC. After the Greenpeace leak was published, EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstroem said in her blog, "I am simply not in the business of lowering standards." Meanwhile, Greenpeace EU director Jorgo Riss said, "These leaked documents confirm what we have been saying for a long time: TTIP would put corporations at the center of policy-making, to the detriment of environment and public health." You can be the judge for yourself. The leaked documents are available for download here.
My God, the US is going to implement all of the consumer standards and protections of the EU market and significantly tighten its environmental and job market regulations! It's going to be Heaven/Hell for the American Democrat/Republican!
I was just happy that Greenpeace did something useful for once...
Peter predicted that you would "deliberately forget" creation 2000 years ago...
He wasn't a cofounder. That was a Republican lie in order to make Greenpeace look violent when they've never done anything violent. It's just a damn lie from a bunch of damn liars. Those people hate so much. Hate so much. Greenpeace has done so much for us. So much for us.
