"Mr President, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership has the potential to damage our environment and devastate the rights of workers, producers and consumers. One of my primary concerns is for the agricultural sector in countries like Ireland. It is clear at this stage already that the unique standards and production systems that apply on Irish family farms, for example, will be compromised in negotiations. Irish farmers are rightly demanding that their livelihoods and their communities are protected.
One of the reasons Sinn Féin rejected the Lisbon Treaty was because of the loss of Ireland’s veto on such matters. So there is a responsibility on the Irish Government and on MEPs who sit in this Chamber and who campaigned in favour of the Lisbon Treaty in Ireland on the promise that it would create jobs to stand with Sinn Féin and progressive voices across the European Union in opposition to the TTIP. The European Commission must hear this message today: We will not allow the sell-out of Irish and European farmers for the sake of something that is a bad deal for everyone else."@en1
