One of the flashpoints in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) talks is the pressure to bring EU standards to US levels in ways that expand the use of industrial agriculture despite the risks to human and animal health and worker safety. A range of issues are on the table including the EU's refusal to allow imports of chicken rinsed in chlorine and other harsh chemicals and the use of Ractopamine in pork production. Please join us for a webinar to learn about the trade, food safety and labor rights issues involved in this debate. This is the first in a series of webinars on TTIP, agriculture and food systems.
Speakers include:
• Dr. Steve Suppan, from the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (U.S.)
• Tom Fritzsche from the Southern Poverty Law Center (U.S.)
• Camille Perrin from the Bureau Européen des Unions de Consommateurs (BEUC)
The webinar will be moderated by Robert Pederson from the ARC2020 coalition.
