The European Parliament today passed their resolution on the on-going trade talks between the EU and the US. The majority of MEPs voted for a number of recommendations that they want to see included in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership talks known as TTIP. One of the most controversial aspects of the talks concerns the investor-state dispute settlement mechanism [ISDS] that gives firms the power to sue governments over policies they’re not happy with. Today the MEPs backed proposals that call for any such disputes to be settled publically and transparently. The Sinn Fein MEP Lynn Boylan says she is against any TTIP deal.
