TTIP is allowing decision makers to put short term profits and growth ahead of long term goals of health and well-being of people and ecosystems. It is being used to iron out differences in regulations and rules between the US and EU, under the mantra of “the least trade restrictive rules work”, without due consideration of the public health, societal and environmental costs.
