Action on CETA
After an illuminating report on the Barcelona declaration and following group discussion, we agreed to email our local councillors regarding the implications of CETA and TTIP on local councils.
TTIP has serious implications at both National and Local levels challenging democratic decisions.
If you have the time and energy we are asking you to email your Councillor perhaps asking to meet them on this subject, but specifically suggesting that they try to get SLDC or CCC to sign the Barcelona Declaration (pdf link on Henry Adams website – see below).
With the imminent ratification of CETA, this action is needed soon.
