European Public Health Associatiion: Lack of Evidence that Int. Trade Deals Increase Trade+Investmen
http://www.epha.org/spip.php?article6113"EPHA Consultation response on ISDS in TTIP
16 July 2014 - EPHA advocates that Investor State Dispute Settlements (ISDS) should be excluded from the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) Agreement and future trade agreements due to the risks of abuse, and to postpone or delay legislation. The risks for public health policy from ISDS are greater than potential benefits. The Commission should prove that ISDS is justified and that proportionate measures to protect both investment and public health policy can be put in place."
