TTIP - The Constitution of corporations
is called ISDS. It is
the crucial clause, the heart of the free trade agreement between the
United States and the European Union, the ITTP (Treaty Transatlantic
Trade and Investment), which turned red to the European Parliament this
week. Was to be voted on Tuesday in Strasbourg a report of hundred pages
that, if approved, would constitute the roadmap for European Trade
Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom, continue negotiations towards ITTP. But
at 17.45 that afternoon, suddenly the only vote that took place was the
suspension of the vote on the report. Something was wrecked approval.
The Greens and the Coalition of the Left vetoed it, and the
conservatives and "popular" supporters. The Socialists were the ones who
gave the note with its ups and downs: after the ISDS clause objected at
first, had been reinstated at a later date. In a third, which was
Tuesday afternoon, some Socialist MEPs warned returning to reject it.
The report was not voted, in short, that he was at serious risk of
winning the No.
