Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (20 Apr 2023)

Joan Collins: ...in profits for these energy companies. We have seen this time and again with treaties such as the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, CETA, and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP. The Government seems wed to the idea that giant companies with multi-billion euro profit lines that grow year by year should have the right to sue our Government for implementing...

Committee on Public Petitions: Engagement with European Ombudsman (23 Mar 2023)

...investigation. Quite a few years ago, we looked into the transparency of the negotiations that were then ongoing between the EU and the US on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP. Our investigations are not done in a spirit of being critical but one of lending our expertise. Obviously, the Commission has a problem if something has become systemic. That is the...

Energy Costs and Windfall Taxes: Motion [Private Members] (15 Feb 2023)

Joan Collins: .... It is a political feature of this Government to support investor courts, like we have seen with the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, CETA, and Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP. Allowing companies to be able to sue sovereign governments for loss of profits is both morally wrong and a disaster for any attempt to end the profiteering and greed. According...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: Fiftieth Anniversary of Ireland’s Accession to the European Community: Discussion (8 Feb 2023)

...our achievements in our presidency. Deputy Richard Bruton was the Minister involved and I well remember the long day and night in Luxembourg we had getting a mandate for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP, which President Obama said he believed could be concluded on one tank of gas. Well, the car ran out of petrol a certain way into the journey and it was never...

Seanad: Protection of the Native Irish Honey Bee Bill 2021: Second Stage (2 Jun 2022)

Lynn Boylan: ...any environmental issues. It is a principle I am proud to have fought hard to protect as an MEP, when it came under threat from trade agreements such as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP.The precautionary principle aims to ensure a higher level of environmental protection through preventative decision-making in the case of risk. From the evidence that we heard...

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by Members of the European Parliament (2 Nov 2021) See 1 other result from this debate

...phase, which is reflected in the plans around a multilateral investment court and the investor-state dispute settlement, ISDS, that was attached to Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP. In my view, it brought trade completely into disrepute. There was a lack of public confidence in trade delivering prosperity across the world and that must be corrected. I am delighted...

Partnership and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and the Republic of Singapore: Motion (19 Oct 2021)

Paul Murphy: ...with the EU-Singapore investment protection agreement. The latter includes notorious investment court system provisions and as with the CETA, and the attempted Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP, before it, these provisions will establish a permanent, institutionalised, alternative legal system; a parallel justice system set up exclusively for corporations, enabling them...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: EU Meetings (3 Jun 2021)

Leo Varadkar: I think the Deputy's assessment is correct. We are unlikely to be getting back to something like TTIP anytime soon. However, we are on a better path now with the USA. No matter what happens at EU level, Ireland will continue to seek investment from the US. It goes both ways now. Nearly 100,000 Americans are employed in Irish owned firms in America. That has been the big change in the...

...treatment by host governments of their investments outside of the EU via a system of independent arbitration. The inclusion of such provisions became a major point of contention in the never completed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP, negotiations with the United States. As a result of that controversy, and following a wide public consultation which the Commission...

Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union: Engagement on Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (16 Dec 2020)

...States of America and China. Managing that relationship is essential. One of the best ways to do this is to engage fully and remind people that the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP, negotiation that I urged former President Obama to juxtapose with the Transition to Practice, TTP, plan, is fully engaged. I have had conversations with President-elect Biden and I...

Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Consequential Provisions) Bill 2020: Second Stage (11 Nov 2020)

Mick Barry: ..., that Joe Biden is very well known in the United States as a corporate Democrat. As Barack Obama's Vice President between 2008 and 2016, he was an ardent support of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP. That trade agreement was vigorously opposed and campaigned against by trade union activists and environmental campaigners on both sides of the Atlantic as a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Impact of Brexit on Ireland's Economy: Economic and Social Research Institute (28 Nov 2019)

Paul Murphy: ...of the trade committee of the European Parliament. We know the kind of trade agreement the US would seek to do. It would have the outlines of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP, but possibly worse because the US would be negotiating with a weaker partner. Let us say included in that deal is a significant reduction in standards - sanitary and phytosanitary, SPS,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Conference of the Parties, COP, 25: Discussion (6 Nov 2019)

..., systematic changes in investment that will impact on climate change mitigation. That is why concerns were raised by the likes of us and many other stakeholders in the Irish debate about TTIP and CETA and the risk that the mechanisms of some such trade negotiations would impinge on states' ability to legislate for public health and public good issues such as climate change.

Post-European Council Meetings: Statements (23 Oct 2019)

Paul Murphy: ...agreement, which is something that Johnson is obviously promoting. It is clear that a big ask of the US in such trade negotiations, just as it was in Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP, negotiations, will be a significant undermining and lowering of food standards. There will be access for chlorine-washed chicken, hormone-fed beef and ractopamine-fed pork. If Britain...

Seanad: The Future of Europe and the Value of European Union Membership to Ireland: Statements (5 Mar 2019)

Fintan Warfield: ...mortgage holders. We are opposed to the EU aggressive, so-called new generation, trade deals, such as Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, CETA, and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP. Those deals threaten to undermine environmental ambition, public services, workers' pay and conditions, financial stability and our agricultural sector. Sinn Féin is also...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (12 Feb 2019)

Alice-Mary Higgins: ...looking for lost future profits, which is a wide scope. The House debated the matter at length. It is unfortunate that problematic elements in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP, and the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, CETA, are raising their head again in the EU-Singapore investment treaty. I have urged our MEPs to vote "No" because we can...

European Communities (Brexit) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (17 May 2018)

Lisa Chambers: ...the 2016 general election signed up to the right to change manifesto which called for Ireland to hold a referendum on its membership of the European Union should the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP, be signed without it first going before the Irish people and, moreover and most important, this is the same party that collapsed the Executive in Northern Ireland and left...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: EU Proposals on Taxation of the Digital Economy: Discussion (26 Apr 2018)

...negotiations. There is a new term out there of "enhanced equivalence", which means we could come to a special deal with the UK as a separate financial services chapter, which is what we are trying to do with the Americans on TTIP. It could then make it clearer what they will follow. The big concern in Brussels is the British will have a race to the bottom. The British counter that by...

Seanad: Order of Business (7 Mar 2018)

Alice-Mary Higgins: ...part of the EU-Canada Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, CETA. These mechanisms are clearly not working. I ask the Leader to arrange a debate on alternatives to trade deals such as CETA and TTIP, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. The House should discuss how we can move past this failed model for doing trade and ensure we have trade that works for citizens and...

Neale Richmond: ...raise three areas. The first may link into the future of Europe, but generally feeds into the post-Brexit scenario, with trade negotiations and discussions. I was an outspoken supporter of both TTIP and CETA, which I felt were both great trade deals. I think CETA will be excellent for the European Union. One of the main reasons TTIP stalled, apart from the change in the political...
