TTIP Vote at European Parliament: Contact MEPs to Reject ISDS
Submitted by fcouchet on 7 July, 2015 - 09:10
After a last-minute postponement in June, Bernd Lange's report on the TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment partnership), is finally to be debated and then voted on, on July 8th and 9th, 2015. The political groups have announced that they have agreed on a compromise to set in place a new version of the Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mechanism. April regrets that, once again, the obvious solution, namely the elimination of this type of mechanism, was not adopted and calls on the MEP's to vote against this text.
