CETA is a dangerous trade agreement that the president of the European Commission wants to rush through now after the Brexit vote - without letting the Riksdag have a say. Demand that our elected representatives have their say! Sign: https://kampanj.skiftet.org/page/s/ceta
CETa is a so-called free trade agreement similar to TTIP and TPP but between the EU and Canada. In fact, just like TTIP and TPP, it is a real and ultimate attack on today's welfare democracies.
The following are included:
-ISDS courts where private companies, read large companies, can sue states if the states' decisions threaten foreign investing companies' increased opportunities for profit
-if something is privatized, it can never be nationalized again
-everything that is not exempted in a list in the agreement will eventually be privatized
-companies must be allowed to review legislative proposals before the elected representatives can make decisions about them
-environmental laws can be seen as trade barriers
-technology that can be used to circumvent copyright must be prohibited. This can hinder the development of cheaper technology and medicines that the world's poor would otherwise be able to afford
By CETA protecting foreign investors like the American ones in Canada, it can become a way to sneak in TTIP the back way. A Trojan horse to bring in another Trojan horse.
