Trans-Pacific Trade Negotiations Heading in the Wrong Direction

http://www.ituc-csi.org/trans-pacific-trade-negotiations.html Unions are increasingly concerned that the round of negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA), which completed after nine days today (9th March) in Melbourne, Australia, are heading in dangerous directions. Governments are planning to cede democratic authority to multinational enterprises under the nine-country TPPA currently under negotiation, with major implications for access to affordable medicines, regulation of finance markets and environmental protection according to the ITUC. - Advice ITUC www.ituc-csi.org
