Crisis INTA vol.2

By N. Arvanitis

Members of the EU react to the Alphapharm situation

The repercussions of the breakout of the Alphapharm crisis are being felt right now, as 3 member states of the European Union expressed their concerns about the negative effects of TiSA agreement. The prime ministers of Croatia, Hungary and Romania stated publically that they are no more in favour of the agreement, pointing out its disadvantages.

To specify, the Croatian head of state raises a question whether the EU should stand in favour of TiSA agreement, putting European citizens’ lives at risk. Furthermore, the Hungarian Prime Minister declared that sacrificing human lives is unacceptable, as multinational companies seem to worry about their own interests. Also, the leader of Romania extends the topic, saying that it is not correct to trust the country’s safety in foreign hands.

The negative reactions don’t stop there. People from all around the world are protesting right now against the TiSA agreement which could possibly be a threat for their lives.
