Haringey to Oppose TTIP

We the undersigned petition the council to *Declare its opposition to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership [TTIP] currently being negotiated by the European Union and the USA. * Make its objections heard with Ministers, local MPs, the Local Government Association and the Greater London Assembly. * Support  the campaign to scrap it.

TTIP will  have  a major impact on the lives of the people of Haringey.
* It represents a dangerous new step in the process of  opening public services - including health and social welfare,  housing, education and  the environment - to unaccountable, private, corporations.
* It undermines the ability of local authorities to impose minimum standards of employment, training, quality, environmental protection, energy conservation, or health and safety.
* It ‘locks-in’ the current privatisation programme and makes it extremely difficult for future local authorities to take back, ‘in house’, contracted out services.
Yet TTIP negotiations are being held out of public view.
Increasing numbers of local authorities  across Europe, including some in  Britain,  have come out against TTIP. 
We call on Haringey Council to join them

On reaching 2200 signatures A debate will be held at full Council
