"The Obama administration has negotiated the TPP for three years in conditions of unprecedented secrecy. The lack of transparency, including denying members of Congress access to the draft TPP text, has sparked growing controversy. Most of the TPP's 26 draft chapters don't address trade, but instead establish strongly enforced limits on non-trade domestic policies ranging from medicine pricing to financial regulation and Internet access terms to food safety. Public Citizen's experts will explain that TPP would launch a new wave of U.S. job offshoring, jack up medicine prices, open a backdoor for the Stop Online Piracy Act, ban Buy American policies and empower foreign corporations to sue sovereign governments in international tribunals for regulatory compensation. In addition, it would lock in Wall Street deregulation."

NOTA: Como responsable de este blog, no necesariamente creo deber  estar de acuerdo con todo lo que aquí traigo a sus lectores, aunque siempre parece bueno escuchar [o leer sobre] distintas campanas. Lo cierto es que, buscando en Internet información detallada sobre estas negociaciones de la TPP, no es fácil encontrar el tipo de información que suele difundir, en general, la OMC, por ejemplo. Que es una de las crítica que hacen quienes hablan de un gran sigilo en las negociaciones de la TPP. Si alguien tiene distinta información al respecto, será muy apreciada. MLD

COMMENT:  Being responsible for this blog, I feel I don't necessarily need to agree with everything I bring to your attention. However, it's not bad to hear [or read about] diverging views. I happen to have had difficulties in order to find details regarding these TPP negotiations on the Internet. As a general rule, though not always, the WTO, for instance, tends to explain what the stages of their negotiations deal about. If someone has more detailed information on these TPP rounds, it will certainly be welcome. MLD
