At stop-ttip.org you may pose the MEP (Member of the European Parliament) from your country and of your party questions about CETA. The questions themselves are very informative and worth reading. CETA puts environmental, climate protection, consumer and employment rights at risk. The so called “regulative cooperation” lays down influence rights of lobbyists on politics. A “Joint Commitee” will be able to change the contract non-democratically by its own authority after it has come into force. We need to strive for making the EU-parliamentarians deny the “temporary application” of CETA!

After Juncker, the president of the European Commission had to give in on putting CETA into effect without asking the parliaments of the member states the new strategy is to put the contract into force «temporarily». CETA could remain in effect for years until all parliaments would have decided on it. This could have lasting effects. Laws could be bended by the interest of big companies and the tax-payers could be deprived billions of Euro. CETA allows the widely opposed «arbitration courts» as TTIP does (ISDS)!

• Germany: participate in a lawsuit against putting CETA temporarily into effect.
• Austria: ask the federal government to oppose CETA in the European council of ministers.

We must continue to fight for our civil rights even though the common fear for terror is currently raging in Europe.
