Greenpeace is determined to continue to take peaceful action against TTIP to defend democracy, people and the environment.
Concern about TTIP is growing and involves a wide spectrum of society, including NGOs, the health sector and businesses. Greenpeace is giving a voice to the millions of Europeans who have signed petitions and taken to the streets in defence of EU standards on food safety, toxic chemicals, healthcare and workers’ rights.
