Reported Death of the TTIP Trade Agreement: An Abhorrent Political Deception

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


September 14th, 2016

By Graham Vanbergen via Global Research

The global mainstream media have loudly hailed the stunning success of the peoples’ uprising against the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), in light of its reported demise. But all is not what it seems…

An Abhorrent Political Deception

In the last few years, protests broke out all over Europe as unelected bureaucrats steamed ahead with the unpopular TTIP trade deal, even after the results of the largest ever consultation study in the EU Commission’s history resulted in a 97% negative response of 150,000 people. The emerging movement spawned enormous online activism never seen before, culminating in the largest petition in Europe’s history with a staggering collective of over 3.2 million signatures delivered by passionate foot-soldiers right to the epicentre of where the political elite inhabit in the EU. The beating heart of TTIP activism was Berlin, Paris and London. This is not to forget the huge protest effort made by citizens across almost all of the EU’s major cities.

When preparing for TTIP negotiations, 560 meetings took place between 2012 and 2013. Just 4% were represented by public interest and civil society. Unashamedly, the Commission allowed 92% of all TTIP meetings to be dominated by lobbyists and corporate trade associations. In total, these shadowy agitators amount to over 30,000 grey suits stalking the halls of the Commission HQ in the de facto capital of the European Union in Brussels.

In May of this year, Wikileaks confirmed that the TTIP amounted to “a huge transfer of power from people to big business.” Greenpeace Netherlands then leaked 248 secret pages of the controversial trade deal between the U.S. and EU, exposing how environmental regulations, environmental protections and consumer rights were effectively being “bartered away behind closed doors.” Tensions among civil society rose to fever pitch with the devastating news.
