Your Vote is Worthless!

"Call me Dave" is busy selling your vote at the G20 conference!

Apparently the only way to future prosperity is signing up to the TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership).

Part of that treaty is the "Investor State Dispute Settlement", (ISDS).

So if I understand that, in the context of a motorcycle forum, couldn't the Japanese, etc. bike makers sue the eu countries? On the basis the new licence regulations is affecting their sales / profits as restricting new riders?

Gibbs, what did Duckie look like when he was younger?

[Suntan Sid]

Yes!
If they signed up, although it is a "Transatlantic" treaty, which may rule them out!
Having said that the ozzie example would suggest they have their own, southern hemisphere, version!

Same as a nation state? Does this mean Tesco could declare war on a small nation, invade and seize it's oil wealth?

Peoples Republic of Walmart?

Out of interest, I wonder how much our import/export market is with the US? I know we export plenty of engineering products to the US, but can't think of much we import from the US other than Hardly Ablesons.

Would this not benefit UK companies more than US ones? Lets face it, Google and Facebook are apparently Irish companies going by the invoices they send me.

Perhaps we could have non baffled exhausts like the H.Ds under such a treaty?

Oh come on democracy and rule of law don't really mean much these days.

I mean the moment they simply took money off people in Cyprus ought to have warned people about it.

I for one look forward to a level playing field where we enjoy all the rights and benefits of our toiling Colonial cousins.

So... when this deal opens with America, can anyone see us being sued over the NHS losing private health care companies profit?
