.... For most of our careers, we have been involved in modelling trade integration agreements, such as a World Trade Organisation, WTO, agreement or the transatlantic trade and investment partnership, TTIP. Now, we are examining disintegrating potentials or the impact of FTAs between the UK and others. We have not done any detailed analysis yet. We are waiting for more clarity to emerge...

Leaders' Questions (17 Nov 2016)

Martin Kenny: ...trade agreements. The fact is that these agreements are not good for agriculture across Europe or for agriculture in Ireland. CETA is part of a new generation of free trade agreements, along with TTIP and others, which move far beyond the lowering of tariffs and the free movement of goods. In fact, they look to attack the sovereignty of national parliaments by interfering in national...

Seanad: Protection of Employment (Uncertain Hours) Bill 2016: Second Stage (16 Nov 2016)

Maire Devine: Workers own this country - not businesses, not multinational corporations nor TTIP or CETA but the people - and they deserve decent pay. Fine Gael acted with arrogance in the last Government but its strength has been diminished and it now has to answer to its masters, Fianna Fáil. The Labour Party compromised itself and was unable to act against the might of Fine Gael. It watched...

Michael Creed: ...in nature, or whether it will take a different approach than heretofore in negotiating free trade agreements. In the latter case, the EU has been negotiating the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) with the US for quite some time. It appears that these negotiations have essentially entered a period of pause until after the new administration has settled into...

Micheál Martin: ..., but the position is now much different. Some Deputies oppose all elements of all trade agreements. Regardless of whether anyone likes it, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP, is now gone. Both candidates in the presidential election were against it. No comment was made on the similarity between President-elect Trump's policies and those of the far left in this...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (9 Nov 2016)

Paul Murphy: ...question of CETA, the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with Canada, which has been a source of major controversy across Europe over the past number of weeks? CETA is seen to represent TTIP in Canadian clothes.

Neale Richmond: ...of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, CETA, but it was done with much difficulty. The opposition to it is a huge warning ahead of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP, negotiations, which are in their 15th round. We have no control over what will happen later tonight, but we have to put the EU on the best footing to get as many good trade deals with as...

Mick Wallace: ...? The Government appears to have shut down any alternative or dissenting opinion on the CETA. I note that there is no reference to the CETA or the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP, in the programme for Government, which is amazing, given the implications of the two trade agreements for the people of Ireland. There is huge public concern about them. People are very...

Maureen O'Sullivan: ...of the agreement. We know that the White Paper states the decision will be made in the context of the aim of reaching zero carbon emissions by 2050. My final point relates to fracking, CETA and TTIP, the investor state dispute settlement. The ISDS lets foreign companies sue entire countries for alleged loss of future profits. A $250 million damage suit is being pursued as a result...

Seanad: Order of Business (27 Oct 2016)

Maire Devine: ...come under considerable pressure until they concede to big businesses that undermine democracy and destroy basic rights. CETA is the back door to the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP, the horrific US deal which has generated so much anger and opposition across Europe and which will become a major referendum issue, despite that the Government does not want it to be. I...

Eamon Ryan: ...and look to renegotiate the agreement. It is not that we are opposed to trade, but we need to be able to move capital. It has to be balanced. The existing trade agreements, the CETA and the TTIP, are not properly balanced and we should use the opportunity to restore faith in the European Union and the balance between capital, labour and natural capital. This should be done through a...

Neale Richmond: ...about possible EU deals that are starting to be negotiated with New Zealand, other Asian countries, Latin America, the Caribbean, China, Russia, Turkey, Africa and, of course, the US in the fateful TTIP agreement? I have done some work on this agreement through the Committee of the Regions. I have taken time out to look at the negotiating documents in Dublin and Brussels. I think it is...

Eamon Ryan: .... It would also address one of the main fundamental concerns with the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, CETA, which is also the case with the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP, that we are creating a mechanism where corporations have excess power over governments in terms of the regulatory systems we are putting in place. That is the reason the Green Party in...

Catherine Connolly: ...which is of help to him informs us that 74% of the population of the country who still believe in democracy want a referendum not only on the CETA but also on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP. Moreover, the Seanad has passed a motion calling on us not to sign the agreement and, more importantly, to uphold Article 29.5.2° of the Constitution. That article sets...

Seanad: Order of Business (6 Oct 2016)

David Norris: ...by the media. RTE, as a public service broadcaster, has a responsibility to cover and report on issues of national significance. Last night in this Chamber we had an excellent debate on CETA and TTIP, two international trade agreements whose terms were negotiated secretly. The public of Europe were kept away from the negotiations and their view was not entertained. Under these proposed...

We...

Neale Richmond: ...on a daily basis get out and promote it. Senator Leyden made it clear in his contribution that conducting negotiations in smoke filled rooms is no longer acceptable. We have seen that with the debates on TTIP and CETA, matters we will deal with this afternoon, which have been completely kiboshed by the confusion, concern and fear that is generated by the fact that it is not an open...
