European Parliament Demands Legal Scrutiny of CETA’s ‘Corporate Court’ System. Nothing Green about CETA! | Global Research - Centre for Research on Globalization
A
group of 89 MEPs have tabled a motion that the proposed Investor Court
System (ICS) in CETA, the EU Canada trade deal, should be subjected to
full and proper legal scrutiny by the European Court of Justice before
coming into force.
The ICS would enable corporations to sue
participating governments for passing laws or regulations that could
harm their profits, for example by imposing new restrictions on
pesticides, or raising labour standards.
