  • TTIP-Letter-To-Schul
    Mr. Martin Schulz, President of the European Parliament European Parliament Bât. Paul-Henri Spaak, 09B011 60, rue Wiertz B-1047 Bruxelles 7 July 2016 Dear Mr. Schulz, In anticipation of the 14th round of negotiations between the EU and US for the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) planned to start on 11 July in Brussels, we are writing to you on behalf of over 65 organisations representing consumers, farmers, not-for-profit health insurers, environmental and general public interest groups to express our serious concerns that the European Commission is failing to respect the European Parliament’s 2015 Resolution on TTIP. 1 Today, we released new analysis, which demonstrates that the European Commission continues to ignore critical aspects of the European Parliament’s Resolution on TTIP, in particular regarding recommendations related to protecting public health, the environment, and democracy. 1. Negotiating on and affecting EU chemicals and pesticides rules The European Parliament has called on the European Commission not to negotiate on issues “where the EU and the US have very different rules” and not to allow regulatory cooperation to affect future standards in such areas. However, the European Commission has continued to negotiate on issues that will affect legislation on chemicals, pesticides, and cosmetic products, whether directly or through regulatory cooperation. This is particularly worrying because the European Commission is already lowering current EU standards of protection (such as on limits to pesticide residues in food) in order to remove barriers to trade. 2. Respect for the EU regulatory system The European Parliament has called on the European Commission “to fully respect the established regulatory systems on both sides of the Atlantic”.

    EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT 2009 - 2014 Committee on Industry, Research and Energy 2010/0075(NLE) 26.10.2010 OPINION of the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy for the Committee on International Trade on the proposal for a Council decision concluding the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and its Member States and the Republic of Korea (COM(2010)0137 – C7-0320/2010 – 2010/0075(NLE)) Rapporteur: Daniel Caspary AD\836868EN.doc PE445.854v02-00 EN United in diversity EN PA_LegAVC PE445.854v02-00 2/5 AD\836868EN.doc EN SHORT JUSTIFICATION On 23 April 2007 the Council authorised the Commission to open negotiations with the Republic of Korea with a view to concluding an EU-Korea Free Trade Agreement. The agreement was initialled on 15 October 2009. Under the Lisbon Treaty, the European Parliament has been granted with new responsibilities on Free Trade Agreements (FTA). The KOREU Agreement, negotiated between the Republic of Korea and the EU, will be the first one to be adopted under the new rules of the consent procedure. International Trade and exports are an important source of growth and employment in the European economy, making up around 10% of GDP and supporting millions of jobs. The FTA strengthens EU competitiveness and creates opportunities for EU businesses in a highly dynamic region. The Rapporteur is of the opinion that, in a time of a global financial and economical crisis, the conclusion of the KOREU FTA is a clear signal of commitment to free and fair trade and against protectionism. Furthermore, the KOREU is the most comprehensive FTA ever negotiated by the EU and the flagship of the Global Europe Strategy, including dismantling of high tariffs, the elimination of Non-tariff barriers to trade, better market access for goods and services, recognition of international and European standards, protection of geographical indications, as well as commitments for sustainable development.
