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.

Les nouvelles informations récemment divulguées viennent confirmer les inquiétudes croissantes de l'ISP au regard de la restriction du droit de réglementer dans l'intérêt de la population des gouvernements et soulignent le manque de transparence qui entoure les négociations de l'Accord sur le commerce des services (ACS).

Today, Wikileaks released the most updated draft texts on the proposed TISA, along with substantive analysis, on each of four cross-cutting annexes: Domestic Regulation, the “Movement of Natural Persons,” Transparency, and a previously-unreleased annex on Government Procurement. In addition they released the Core Text with accompanying analysis and the agenda for the negotiations next week. The negotiating texts are supposed to remain secret for five years after the deal is finalized or abandoned.
