WikiLeaks - Trade in Services Agreement - https://wikileaks.org/tisa/press.html
Today, 1500 CEST Wednesday, 1 July 2015, WikiLeaks releases a modern journalistic holy grail: the secret Core Text for the largest ‘trade deal’ in history, the TiSA (Trade In Services Agreement), whose 52 nations together comprise two-thirds of global GDP.

  • procurement regulation to ensure that TiSA governments will not favour local services over services supplied by foreign multinationals.
  • the three treaties form not only a new legal order shaped for transnational corporations, but a new economic “grand enclosure”, which excludes China and all other BRICS countries.
  • “Washington is negotiating with every nation that borders China… so as to ‘confront Beijing’.”
  • substantially further restricting what governments can do in services.
  • extensive criteria for commercial firms, including foreign ones, to force governments to protect their corporate interests.
