Corporate Europe Observatory (CEO)DG TRADE's Dora Correia responds to comments on the #CTIP by saying very little of substance that's not already in existing documents.
Avoids criticisms brought up by South Africa's communities or trade unionists. Says the EU is responding to a call by South Africa ("not our fault, gov").
Claudia Azevedo from the Jacques Delors think tank (who used to work at DG TRADE) comments on the ongoing #CTIP negotiations. She calls for:
- civil society + parliament involvement in negotiations
- sustainability commitments to be included
- explicit inclusion of free prior and informed consent
MEPs will be in Strasbourg this week to discuss the EU-South Africa #CTIP and what it means for #greenhydrogen and the impact on local communities.
This op-ed from campaigner @belenbalanya.bsky.social and @groundworksa.bsky.social's Yegeshni Moodley is essential reading for every MEP taking part.

How is the EU's new Clean Trade and Investment Partnership #CTIP is helping Europe get control of South Africa's (not-so-green) hydrogen?
