And then they wonder why people get pissed at the EU and see it as one corrupt hive of whores to the big companies and industry.

Not that there where no protest and scandal about TTIP, no, never. Lets just get the same shit done that everybody freaks out about in TTIP with Japan in total secrecy. Loss of standards in the EU, company driven arbitral tribunals, as if the EU and Japan would be some banana republics without proper judical systems, and so on and so on.

It is realy mindboggeling how ignorant Brussels is to the voice of the european citicens. But hey, those pesky citicens don't bribe as good as the big companys.

Fell free to delete this post if it qualifies as a political rant. I just had to get this off my chest and I'm in general a very unpolitical person.

There are already petitions out there protesting this "treaty"…

I have to admit when I skimmed the article I simply wondered if this might in some way be beneficial to IHUK customers - but I'm neither a business person or a political animal so I maybe missed some of the potential for controversy - apologies if I've opened a can of worms

It might sound good, but it's just another shit treaty benefiting multinationals they're trying to push through in silence…
