TPP

mardi 24 octobre 2017 à 02:00

The new government of New Zealand plans to go on with negotiations for the TPP, demanding only a narrow concession on one specific issue.

The article says nothing about the nastiest part of the TPP, the ISDR ("I Sue Democratic Republics") clause that allows businesses to sue countries over policies that hamper their dreams of profit, then it is not serving its country. I fear the absence of mention means that the new government intends to accept ISDR.

It might be possible for a public campaign in New Zealand to change this decision. I hope people there will launch such a campaign.
