Mais pistas sobre o inefável "funcionamento dos mercados"...

«Kenneth Haar, researcher for CEO, said: “EU and US determination to put big business at the heart of decision-making is a direct threat to democratic principles. This document shows how TTIP’s regulatory cooperation will facilitate big business influence – and US influence – on lawmaking before a proposal is even presented to parliaments.” 

Nick Dearden, director of the Global Justice Now campaign group, said: “The leak absolutely confirms our fears about TTIP. It’s all about giving big business more power over a very wide range of laws and regulations. In fact, business lobbies are on record as saying they want to co-write laws with governments – this gets them a step closer. This isn’t an ‘add on’ or a small part of TTIP – it’s absolutely central.”

Mr Dearden said it was “scary” that the US could get the power to challenge and amend European regulations before elected European politicians have had the chance to debate them.

Referring to the imminent EU referendum, he said: “We’re talking about sovereignty at the moment in this country – it’s difficult to imagine a more serious threat to our sovereignty than this trade deal.”»

Se isto são modos de tratar as colónias!... Bem, a verdade é que são.

Chama-se TTIP ou "Acordo de Parceria Transatlântica de Comércio e Investimento".  A palavra parceria, então, é de ir às lágrimas. Mas, em todo o caso, adequa-se. Sobretudo se tivermos em consideração  que se trata dum contrato entre um sádico e um masoquista.
