TTIP? No, thanks!
How big multinationals try to fool civilians, again!
Matthijs Pontier, Piratenpartij
Problems in EU
• Too much top-down
• Lack of democratic control
• Too much power with too many people
 Lobbyists’ paradise
TTIP: Treaty against civilians
• Lobbyists behind closed doors
• Protects interests multinationals
• Commission: ‘TTIP = ACTA through backdoor’
• At the expense of:
– Civil rights
– Environment
– Democracy
‘Market Harmonization’ EU-US
• Less restrictions on fracking
• Less restrictions on GMO’s
• Makes turning back privatizations impossible
• Stricter copyright laws
• Stricter patent laws
Economic Costs/Benefits TTIP
• Most positive scenario EU:
0,48% economic growth in 2027
– > not even 0,05% per year!!
• Costs according to OFSE report: 47 billion
– Reduction trade barrier tariffs: 30 billion
– Changes labour market: 10 billion
– Less taxes: 7 billion
Capaldo (UN Global Policy Model)
Race to the
bottom
Trading away our democracy
• Germany: Phasing out nuclear energy (3,7bn)
• Canada: Prohibition shale gas winnings (250m)
• Philip Morris in Uruguay (2bn)
– BBP Uruguay: 60 miljard  >3%!!
• Civilians pay through tax
• Tribunal puts trade above everything
Also above human rights and environment
TTIP
There is no planet B
Thanks!
