European and Canadian NGOs call for an immediate halt of the CETA free trade agreement
A new study gives an analysis of the contents of European-Canadian trade agreement CETA
Berlin/Bratislava/Brussels, 22nd September 2016
Important decisions on the European-Canadian free trade agreement
CETA will shortly be taken on EU institutional and Member State level.
On this occasion, Canadian and European experts of civil society shed
light on the most controversial aspects of the agreement. They conclude
that CETA in its present form threathens public welfare on both sides of
the Atlantic, referring among other areas to investor-state dispute
settlement, agriculture and energy policy.
“In CETA, the controversial investor-state dispute settlement mechanism is preserved: investors still receive far-reaching rights to challenge policy measures that could possibly harm their investment”, explaines Peter Fuchs (PowerShift). “Some procedural modifications do not change the very vague and extremely dangerous legal concepts in CETA’s investment protection chapter at all. In addition, up to 42,000 US corporations with substantial business activties in Canada could already use CETA’s investment protection regime to challenge European environmental or social policies.”
“The ratification of CETA would be a severe setback for efforts to encourage non-industrial farming practices and sustainable agriculture on both sides of the Atlantic and for fair prices for producers instead of dumping export prices“, stresses Berit Thomsen, trade policy officer at AbL.
“CETA will undermine sustainable energy and climate policy in the future. Efforts to stop fossil fuel-based energy production and promote renewable energy will the threatened by CETA, which poses an immense danger to any measures put in place to reach the goals that the EU and Canada agreed to in the 2015 Paris Agreement”, trade policy expert at BUND Ernst-Christoph Stolper explaines.
The publishing organisations call for an immediate halt of the CETA negotiations and the ratification process.
