Days after a multi-trillion dollar Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) treaty was signed in secret in America, a three million signature petition has been handed in to the European Commission in London and Brussels calling for an immediate end to negotiations on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) in Europe.
The European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) against the European Union and United States trade deal has gathered support across Europe and has been signed by people who believe it will threaten democracy, public services, the environment and allow big businesses to influence governments.
John Hilary, War on Want’s executive director said:
“The three million signatures collected for this petition shows that the people of Europe are against these corporate driven trade deals.”
“The people of Europe have spoken, the politicians must no longer turn their back on their constituents.”
