TTIP är ett jätte-ACTA som omfattar allt ifrån kyckling till
krypton. Jag kollade lite på kartorna igår http://www.citizen.org/TAFTA-investment-map Vet inte riktig vad jag ska göra med det här än. -------- Original Message --------
Greetings. We’ve created a new
online tool that you might find useful to highlight
TAFTA/TTIP’s investor-state threat. It’s a map of the 75,000 foreign-owned
firms in the U.S. and EU that would be granted extraordinary
investor privileges under the deal (as currently proposed),
creating unprecedented exposure for both governments to
investor-state attacks on health, environmental, financial and
other safeguards. That’s 24,000 U.S. subsidiaries of EU-based
corporations and 51,000 EU subsidiaries of U.S.-based
corporations that would be given greater rights than domestic
firms and whose parent companies would be empowered to bypass
domestic courts in launching claims against government
policies and actions before extrajudicial tribunals. The maps, which are an overlay of Google
maps, allow users to zoom in to see the foreign investors in
their communities that could take advantage of the deal’s
investor privileges to demand taxpayer compensation for public
interest safeguards. Feel free to use and distribute as you
see fit: http://www.citizen.org/TAFTA-investment-map.
