The Trade in Services Agreement (TISA), which aims to liberalise trade in the global services sector between the EU and 22 other countries, could undermine the Paris climate agreement, according to leaked documents. Text from the EU, seen by The Guardian, would commit signatories to “energy neutrality” between renewables and fossil fuels, with the proposed exemption of nuclear power. The agreement would also demand that signatories pass legislation prohibiting “anti-competitive conduct” – seen as state support for the renewable sector. Governments would retain the right to regulate, but would have to prove the necessity of measures that restricted multinationals.
