An international trade agreement in 19-pages, being drafted in secret was published by WikiLeaks as the transparency group's editor commemorated his 2-year anniversary confined to the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
Fifty countries around the globe have already signed on to the Trade in Service Agreement (TISA), including the United States, Australia and the European Union. Despite vast international ties the details about the deal have been negotiated behind closed-doors and largely ignored by the press.
In a statement published by the group alongside the leaked draft this week, WikiLeaks said "proponents of TISA aim to further deregulate global financial services markets," and have participated in "a significant anti-transparency maneuver" by working secretly on a deal that covers more than 68% of world trade in services, according to the Swiss National Center for Competence in Research.
