Activists from the Stop TTIP movement handed a petition to the European Parliament on Tuesday, seeking to stop the possible implementation of the trade agreement between the European Union and the United States, EurActiv news website said.
BRUSSELS (Sputnik) — The petition, signed by almost 3.3 million people from 23 EU countries, was handed to President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz, and campaigners demanded a parliamentary hearing.
The stated goal of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is to streamline the flow of goods and services across the Atlantic. The pact seeks to create the world's largest deregulated trade zone, encompassing over 60 percent of global production.
Anti-TTIP activists point out that the trade deal was negotiated in unusual secrecy, and released sections of the document clearly detail that it will benefit multinational corporations and corporate rights-holders at the expense of sovereign nations and consumers.
The next round of TTIP talks is planned for the beginning of 2016.
