Public interest, social and environmental policies under threat.
Change EU investment policy – now is the time!

Find here a briefing paper from the Seattle-to-Brussels Network and
other organizations about the dangers of the EU’s new competence to
negotiate investment protection agreements:

http://www.enlazandoalternativas.org/spip.php?article915

Please spread it in your networks. Its main purpose is to alert trade
unions, environmental-, women’s- and human rights groups about the
dangers of what is currently proposed by the European Commission and
the EU member states. The debate in the European Parliament in the
next 2-3 months will be key to prevent an MAI-like (1998) policy on
the EU level.

Many thanks and friendly greetings,
