20000 Bürger haben bereits die Volksinitiative zum Schutz des Wassers unterzeichnet. Die Initiatoren wollen ein gesetzliches Frackingverbot in Schleswig-Holstein erreichen. Für Initiator Reinhard Knof besteht Zeitdruck: „Wenn Ceta da ist, ist es zu spät.“
An oil and gas exploration company is seeking $2.7 billion in damages from the Victorian Government after the state moved to ban fracking, saying the decision was "unlawful"
Die Ortsgruppe des Bundes für Umwelt- und Naturschutz Moers/Neukirchen-Vluyn (BUND) ist am Samstag, den 13. August von 10 bis 14 Uhr am Königlichen Hof mit einem Informationsstand zu TTIP, TISA und CETA vertreten. Die Umweltschützer wollen auf die Folgen der geplanten Freihandelsabkommen mit den USA und Kanada aufmerksam machen und rufen zur Teilnahme an einer der sieben regionalen Großdemonstrationen am 17.

If you needed proof that trade agreements are just an excuse to hand big business power at our expense, look no further than Ceta, a deal between the EU and Canada
Did you know that two looming trade deals, if passed by Congress, would newly empower 45 of the world’s 50 largest corporate climate polluters to “sue” governments in private tribunals over policies that keep fossil fuels in the ground?
Trade chief told oil giant in secret talks that free trade deal could address its concerns over regulations restricting activities in developing countries
The European Union has been caught trying to undermine any meaningful outcome from the UN climate talks in Paris by instructing its representatives to block discussion of two key mechanisms that could help combat the effects of global warming: the introduction of measures to curb the negative environmental impacts of global trade, and the transfer of technology to help poorer countries in their fight against climate change.
Wieder wurden Dokumente der TISA-Verhandlungen geleakt, diesmal aus dem Energiesektor. Kritiker bezeichnen die Dokumente ironisch als "Free Fracking Agreement", als Freihandelsvereinbarung für unbegrenztes Fracking. Jule Reimer erklärt, was es damit auf sich hat
Canada and the EU signed a deal last year. It had been kept a secret from the public right until the final stages. Once passed into law, it will allow the British government to be sued in secret tribunals by multinational Canadian and American businesses, under a system so arcane that even those who negotiated the deal have admitted that it needs to change.
