Full stop." also, we can conclude from the leaked documents (both these and older ones) that the US proposals in some fields differ wildly from the current EU regulations, and I can't see the US giving in to EU demands on all of these (like GMO's, chlorine chicken and less stringent environmental rules). so, with these powers combined we can conclude that further negotiation is useless, and TTIP is dead. so why are we still negotiating ? fear is that a compromise will be reached somehow, and the EU citizens draw the short straw (I say that as a concerned EU citizen) |
