WTO forbids "dolphin-safe" labels on tuna cans

mercredi 25 novembre 2015 à 01:00

The WTO decided that protecting dolphins by allowing tuna cans to carry a "dolphin-safe" label is a forbidden "obstacle to trade".

This stems from the wrong fundamental values of the WTO, which place business profit above everything important.

The TPP would further strengthen the power of businesses to attack measures to protect the environment. We need to abolish all the existing business-supremacy treaties, but we are still on the defensive. First we need to block the TPP, the TTIP, and the TISA.

If you have not done so, I urge you to contact your elected officials to call for rejection of the TPP. We must not put democracy in a trance.
