Originally posted by DaveB View PostYes, like I said, they are negotiating texts, not the final wording. Anything in there is up for negotiation and may be modified or removed.

Originally posted by DaveB View PostTTIP doesn't explicitly rule out anything at the moment as the wording is still under negotiation and has yet to be published.
The EU (you know, the one we are in the process of leaving) Commission *wants* to include specific provisions for state funded services such as the NHS, but that is no guarantee that it will.

It will be a lot easier to do a deal with us than reach agreement with the EU, although Owl is correct in pointing out we need to see the terms.

Originally posted by minestrone View PostYou have claimed this before, TTIP explicitly rules out state controlled services like the NHS.

Originally posted by CretinWatcher View PostThat's the agreement with the EU, what's the betting that "our" TTIP will be considerably less restrictive?

I assumed that because the UK had tucked up the USA by leaving the EU and not being able to give them the inside track, the USA would take revenge.

The Tories will probably push TTIP between the UK and the US whilst no one is looking.
We'll probably have to accept whatever deal the Yanks give us on their terms.
Without a credible Labour opposition, the Tories and their private interests can collude with their Yank business friends to carve up bits of the public sector between them.

Informal talks are not negotiations. Sounds great in the beginning but when trade negotiations begin in earnest then all sorts of interest groups start jumping in which can then make the trade negotiations long and protracted. This all needs to start in Congress.
I don't think anyone disputes there will be trade agreements in place after the UK leaves the EU. If there aren't any then the UK ends up as an economic desert waste land.Last edited by BlasterBates; 15 July 2016, 11:31.
