via - Meg Rybicki, Today at 00:18 Privatization of water, fracking, gmos, ALL INTERLINKED. Please take a minute to read this post, and then click the petition and SIGN. If the TTIP agreement goes ahead through the European Parliament, then our water could be owned by Veolia, G4S, Monsanto, Centrica.....................Water is the new oil, and is being treated like a commodity. Please read, click, sign and share, TTIP would allow multinationals to SUE Ireland for loss of profit . Fracking uses billions of litres of water, and all unconventional gas/oil/CSG produces millions of litres of untreatable waste water. Together we can ONLY GET STRONGER : The day has come: Today we are starting signature collection for our self-organised European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) against TTIP and CETA!!! Within a year we want Europe to collect at least 1 million signatures.We need your support! Please click here to sign:stop-ttip.org/sign/ Now that this is done, please help us spread the word by forwarding this message Here is a quick reminder why you should sign the self-organised ECI: As you know, the EU soon intends to sign two far-reaching trade agreements: one with Canada (CETA = Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement) and one with the USA (TTIP = Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership). The official line is that this will create jobs and increase economic growth. However, the beneficiaries of these agreements will be big corporations, not citizens: - Investor-State-Dispute Settlement (ISDS): Canadian and US companies would have the right to sue for damages if they believe that they have suffered losses because of government decisions (for instance new laws to protect the environment or consumer rights). - Improving or even maintaining our standards for food, labour rights, environmental protection and consumer rights will become much harder. - Liberalisation and privatisation would effectively become irreversible. - The EU and its member states would come under pressure to allow risky technologies such as fracking or genetic modification, and the buying up of WATER SUPPLIES CETA and TTIP would increase the power of multinationals at the expense of democracy and the public. We must not allow this to happen! Please sign the European Citizens’ Initiative!
