HUNDREDS of documents leaked by Greenpeace could spell the end for the controversial Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership deal between the US and EU.
The 248-page leak reveals how US corporations could hold sway over EU protections on consumers and the environment.
Greenpeace say the documents reveal how the US wants to replace the EU’s ‘precautionary principle’ on potentially harmful products with the more relaxed US standard, which seeks to manage risks rather than avoid them altogether.
The principle can currently demand manufacturers to prove a product bears no danger to consumers or the environment.
