The Trade in Services Agreement ( TISA ) , which aims to liberalise trade in the global services market 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 require signatories to “ energy trading ” between renewables and fossil fuels , with the proposed exemption of nuclear power . Before coming into effect though, any finalised Tisa text will most likely need to be approved by all EU member states – which currently includes the UK – and will also require approval from the European parliament. 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 legislation that protects multinationals .
