Original Submission

[Ed. addition]

What is the TTIP?

It's the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.

TTIP is the biggest free-trade agreement ever, it's being discussed for quite a while now between Europe and the US. The discussions have been critizised for their lack of transparency and a lot of people fear that industry regulations will be lower after the agreement diminishing rights of citizens. Since the outcome will affect 820 million people, we're investigating it.

According to the reddit discussion, a number of the documents have already been made public.

[Ed. update: Typo fix and revised the link to the correctiv.org web site to point to the English version; removed text pertaining to the German version.]

    From the summary:

    The link to the connectiv.org web site

    There's no link to connectiv.org. There's a link to correctiv.org. That name already suggests a certain type of action. ;-)

    I "correctiv-ated", the text, but when I replaced the link to point to the English version of the site, that text became unnecessary, so removed it. Thanks for keeping us on our toes!
