"I voted against this report as it is Sinn Fein’s position that the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership being negotiated by the European Union and United States will have disastrous consequences for democracy in Member States, the environment, labour rights and public services.
This report endorsed the TTIP negotiations, which have been carried out in secret.
I voted in favour of several amendments tabled by my group, the GUE/NGL, and the Greens. These ranged from an outright rejection of the TTIP project to specific amendments aimed at protecting workers’ rights, food and water standards, public services, and the environment. I voted in favour of the joint GUE-NGL/EFDD/Greens amendment that called for the negotiations to adopt a ‘positive list’ approach when dealing with services.
On the critical issue of the ISDS – investor-state dispute settlement – there were two key compromise amendments, 117 (proposed by rapporteur Lange) and 118 (proposed by the Greens). I voted against Amendment 117 and in favour of Amendment 118.
There is massive public opposition to the secretive trade deal among my constituents. The TTIP will have a seriously detrimental impact in Ireland – on jobs, agriculture, the environment, workers’ rights and vital public services."@en1
