More than a million people all over the European Union have signed a petition urging the EU to stop negotiations with the United States on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) and not ratify the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada. As of 09:00 GMT, 1,002, 472 people have signed the Stop TTIP and CETA petition, according to the campaigns website. We want to prevent TTIP and CETA because they include several critical issues such as investor-state dispute settlement and rules on regulatory cooperation that pose a threat to democracy and the rule of law. We want to prevent lowering of standards concerning employment, social, environmental, privacy and consumers and the deregulation of public services (such as water) and cultural assets from being deregulated in non-transparent negotiations, the petition says. sputniknews/business/20141204/1015487061.html
