CETA TRADE AGREEMENT

Early day motion 599, tabled 26 October 2016 by Kelvin Hopkins (Labour). Signed by 2 members.

That this House congratulates the regional Wallonian Parliament on its decision to block the implementation of the CETA trade deal between the EU and Canada; considers that this was a brave and principled move, standing up for democracy against the corporate world and its collaborators in the EU; notes that CETA would incorporate the worst elements of the controversial and unpopular Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, including powers to enable companies to prosecute democratic governments in secret courts; and urges all democrats to oppose all attempts to impose such deals in future.

Signatures by party: Labour 2.
