TTIP/CETA referendums in European countries?

Dear all,

In a study conducted by the Stop-TTIP ECI people in Berlin it was concluded that referendums on TTIP/CETA are legally possible in 14 countries, but that in only 3 countries (Hungary, Lithuania and Netherlands) the citizens can trigger a referendum. 

In the Netherlands, a number of NGO's have begun the preparation for a citizen-initiated referendum on TTIP / CETA (see www.ttip-referendum.nl).

But who knows more about the situation in other countries? Is there any real chance anywhere that a referendum could be held?  Are there NGO's in Hungary or Lithuania  who are willing and able to organize such a referendum?  Or politicans pushing for a referendum elsewhere? 

If you know about something, I'm would be very happy with a detailed account (am writing a chapter about this for a Dutch language book on TTIP).

 

many thanks
