A planned debate and vote this morning on
the talks between the EU and US on a free trade agreement have been postponed
until next month. The postponement followed disputes among members of the
European parliament over a controversial mechanism for resolving disputes
between foreign investors and states. A substantial number of MEPs are against
including the Investor State Dispute Settlement mechanism in any EU-US trade
agreement. However, the Fine Gael MEP Brian Hayes says Europe has nothing to
fear from its inclusion in an agreement. And he says, Europe needs this agreement.
