Dear All

Early in the TTIP procedure EU Com. provided funding to each MS to commission studies on the impact that TTP will likely have on their country (jobs, growth etc.): impact studies

Although paied with public money, several MS have have not released these Impact Studies and some are even refusing; quoting confidentiality.
This is more than just intransparent and irregular.

Of the studies released so far many contain great argument ammunition for the national StopTTIP campaigns. Just last week Correctiv! leaked the Hungarian Impact Study whose authors conclude that TTIP hardly bring any growth to the country while the agricultural sector and food processing will become unviable (https://correctiv.org/recherchen/ttip/blog/2015/11/16/was-ttip-ungarn-bringt-wenig/).
This is powerful material to convince MP, MEPs etc.

Just today the Croatian StopTTIP alliance and FOE Croatia made a press conference to show that their impact study was conducted by persons who are not impartial experts and worse still, they have strong connections to pro-ttip institutions:

If you were given access to your national impact studies, could you please share and email them or if you know of any effort aiming to collect the summaries of each impact study, it would be great to know of it.

With many thanks for your ideas and leads.

Best
Steph
