TTIP puts the EU's environmental and social policies on the line | EurActiv:

But as negotiations progress, civil society groups on both sides of the Atlantic are increasingly feeling uneasy, ten leading NGOs write.

This opinion was drafted by ten European health, transparency and environment NGOs: CEE Bankwatch Network, Climate Action Network Europe (CAN), Corporate Observatory Europe (CEO), European Public Health Alliance (EPHA), European Environmental Bureau (EEB), Friends of the Earth Europe (FOEE), Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL), Nature Friends International (NFI), Transport & Environnent (T&E), World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).
