Regulation - none of our business?
A leaked EU negotiating proposal for the far-reaching free trade agreement with the US reveals the European Commission’s plans to fundamentally change the way regulations to protect consumers, labour and the environment will be adopted in the future. The proposal follows a persistent campaign by business lobby groups on both sides of the Atlantic to use the proposed transatlantic trade deal to maximise the deregulation of food and product safety standards. If they have it their way, future decision-making will go underground, escape democratic scrutiny and be wide open to business lobbying.Read the press release here.Corporate Europe Observatory needs to raise €5,000 to expose and challenge the threat from the ongoing negotiations between the EU and the US for a sweeping trade and investment treaty, officially known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).Please click here to learn more about it and to contribute.

This is good, if it is not written in the constitution, they people should have an easier time justifying why they have to take power from those with money :)
