I move:

That the Committee on European Union Affairs - withdraw the political contribution on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP, as the process from which it has been drafted is significantly incomplete, is based solely on evidence given to only three committees, which exposes the committee to censure from stakeholders and citizens who are already deeply concerned regarding the secretive nature of the TTIP negotiations and believe that concerns raised are not being dealt with;

- commence with the process agreed to in May 2015, which included the holding of hearings to examine in full the identified policy areas of the trade agreement for consideration across the six Oireachtas joint committees, namely:

- European Union Affairs;

- Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation;

- Agriculture, Food and the Marine;

- Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform;

- Justice, Defence and Equality; and

- Foreign Affairs and Trade

- prepare a comprehensive political contribution on completion of the agreed process by all six committees that adequately reflects the comprehensive examination members have undertaken in their consideration of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership trade agreement, an agreement that is unprecedented in its scale and depth.
