Compliance Check: European Parliament's TTIP Resolution on Public Health, Environment and Democracy Risk

The analysis concludes that the European Commission failed to adhere to the European Parliament's recommendations regarding the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). Specifically, the Commission failed to avoid negotiations in areas of divergent EU-US rules, failed to protect the EU regulatory process from TTIP influence, and failed to meaningfully reform the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanism.

• The European Commission did not follow the recommendations set by the European Parliament in its July 2015 Resolution regarding the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.
• The European Commission failed to abide by three specific recommendations: avoiding negotiations in areas where the EU and US have very different rules (or allowing regulatory cooperation to influence unset standards), preventing TTIP from impacting the EU regulatory process, and implementing meaningful reforms to the investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanism.
