Action against TiSA in Switzerland

Greenpeace activists carry out a protest holding props with big eyes and a banner reading “Don’t trade away our planet”.
Greenpeace has published secret documents from the TiSA negotiations. The “Trade in Services Agreement” is the unknown big brother of the trade agreements TTIP and CETA. TiSA is currently, from 19-26th of September, being secretly negotiated in Geneva among 50 states and would pave the way for global deregulation of everything from public services to financial markets. TiSA would undermine effective climate action and environmental protection, health care and education, labour rights and data security.
Greenpeace demands to start a public debate on trade which is in favour of people and the planet, not just a few big corporations.
