The CS FfD Mechanism is calling for a UN agreement on the termination of #ISDS if you want to learn more about how ISDS work: its neocolonial origins, the major profiteers, and where the resistance is coming from check out the Global ISDS Tracker: https://t.co/dM64FE4Bzl #FfD4

The urgent need to address #ClimateChange is hindered by #ISDS

▶️New @ciel_tweets brief argues that #ISDS acts as subsidies for fossil fuel industries, conflicting with the Paris Agreement’s aim to align financial flows with low emissions pathways

Was a bit surprised to hear certain statements by Dutch Senators in the @EersteKamer today about #ISDS and #CETA

here a Scientific review of the question how ISDS was used and by whom

In my view a must read before any vote on ratifying CETA

After multiple years following the #ISDS reform process at #UNCITRAL, @taylor__stjohn and I have put together a website that brings together our blogs and articles on the process, along with related publications and presentations.

Canada is one of the countries that historically is one of the most notorious for harbour "investors" that file #ISDS cases.
Something parliaments in the EU concerned about #CETA should be aware of

On Tuesday the #Netherlands intend [still to be confirmed] to agree to the marginally modified #ISDS mechanism of #CETA
Sadly instead of looking what actually is on the table, discussion in senate seems to be dominated by Dutch party politics

[Sujata Dey @sujata_dey]

Message to Canada: Cyprus's vote against #CETA is a sign. #ISDS is not going to be acceptable, regardless of how much they force-feed it to Europeans. CETA is still in imminent jeopardy in France and the Netherlands. Not to mention all the other countries. Best to dump it now!

A powerful argument that countries - including Canada - cannot meet their climate goals while supporting ISDS corporate rights in trade agreements! - David Suzuki Foundation https://t.co/npsTtISiFE

While #CETA in Art.8.10(5) clarifies that ”the full protection and security (FPS) clause” exclusively relates to physical protection is good, it still means that arbitrators might have to read “full” as to go beyond the normal national practise (1/2)

[BI at BothENDS @bibothends]

The so called “FPS clause” is just another example why the frequent claim that “#ISDS has been fixed in #CETA” is misinformed.
Here EU & Canada could have learned a lot from the text developed by member states of The Southern African Development Community #SADC

Here the loophole that was introduced so that #CETA committees later can re-expand the definition of “Fair and Equitable Treatment” once parliaments have ratified

Thank you @IGJ2012for this very inspiring webinar on the ongoing negotiations of the trade & investment agreement between #EU & #Indonesia (#CEPA)

Attached the slide with the dangerous new article I mentioned the EU wants to include in the investment protection part
