Green 10 position on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership

November 28, 2014

Supported by more than 20 million EU citizens across 28 member states, the Green 10 alliance of leading environmental NGOs at the EU level calls for a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to negotiations on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the EU and the US.

The approach must seriously consider the environmental and democratic challenges posed by this agreement. The Green 10 are also against the inclusion of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) and provisions for a regulatory co-operation council, both of which threaten recent and future environmental and social achievements in Europe.
