German Court on CETA: Important success for our democratic rights! | bilaterals.org
#ICYMI
All in all, the German Constitutional Court – unlike the Commission or
the German government – has taken the criticism of CETA’s democratic
deficit very seriously and laid down important criteria to ensure the
rights of parliaments in the approval and implementation process.
Thinking of the obscurity and technocratic vagueness at CETA’s starting
point, this decision is not a triumph for Sigmar Gabriel and Cecilia
Malmström, but for European citizens and the Europe-wide movement
fighting the assault on our democracy through trade deals like CETA and
TTIP.
