"Against. Greens filed 18 out of the 123 amendments to the report. Our main goal at this stage is to go against the hype of a fast-tracked FTA which almost certainly will result in failure and damage US-EU relations even further. The obstacles for regulatory convergences and service liberalisation in particular are so high that we demand a much more precise elaboration of what shall be negotiated. Therefore, we want the HLWG to take all of the time it needs to make a sound proposal of possible deliveries of any kind of trade agreement, after thorough consultations with all stakeholders. We also warn against the hype that a comprehensive transatlantic FTA could become the maker of new global trade rules, which we regard as a serious threat to the survival of the multilateral trade system as embodied by the WTO. Except for a couple of our amendments which were included in compromise texts, especially a hint to the very different perceptions of the role and function of public services and services of general interest, we lost all our amendments in the committee vote. As a result, Greens voted against the report, together with GUE."@en1
