Ms Gabriela Quijano:

One of the things that the treaty creates, and we as a civil society are pushing for it to become better, is access to information and disclosure by companies of that sort of business relationship. That has been going very well so far. It is just a little proposition but is one of the first steps towards bringing and consolidating those contexts is to have access to information about corporate structures, the nature of corporate global supply chains and who is who and who commands whom.

The other thing to say is that access to remedy would also be guaranteed through this treaty in the host state where these companies that are far removed from their big glossy company headquarters operate. We would also add the possibility for remedy where the company sourced from these smaller or local companies, or where they have command or some control over these companies where they are based, which is the home state or other state where they conduct their operations. I will leave it at that.
