Behind closed doors, the EU and the US have been quietly negotiating a major new trade deal. The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) will give corporations more power over our society, environment, public services and democracy. Crucially, it will include an ‘Investor-State Dispute Settlement’ clause, allowing companies to sue governments if new policy reduces their profit. But there’s a growing campaign against it on both sides of the Atlantic – come and join us as part of the No TTIP day of action.
Saturday 12 July, 11am – 1pm, outside Hillhead Library, Byres Road
We’ll be making a spectacle of ourselves for the press (there’ll be puppets and bowler hats and everything!) and also talking to passers-by about the madness of TTIP. This might be an EU-US treaty, but it’s being negotiated to set the standard for all trade deals around the world. Click here for more info.
