Reaction of Cardinal Marx on TTIP

Regarding the recent debate around the pursuit of the TTIP negotiations, Cardinal Marx, the President of COMECE, said that “stopping the TTIP negotiations would not solve the current problems. A just global economic order requires common rules. The TTIP could be a way to achieve this goal”.

COMECE reminds of the common position adopted last June by the Bishops of the EU and the US. This position reaffirms that the participation of citizens, social protection and sustainable development are essential requirements in order to reach a fair agreement for the benefit of all.
