I think many aspects of the Trans-Atlantic Free Trade Agreement has been reported on SOTT, maybe under different names.

Yes, you're right mkrnhr. According to this article: http://www.sott.net/article/264393-How-Monsanto-can-be-defeated these agreements are to be understood as complementary to NAFTA and WTO trade agreements.

On the international level, Monsanto and Big Food, joined by other large corporations concerned about the growing grassroots power of consumer, environmental, and Fair Trade networks, are lobbying for fast track passage of new secretly negotiated Free Trade Agreements, the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), popularly known as "TAFTA," and the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).Both TAFTA and TPP are basically supercharged versions of the highly unpopular NAFTA and WTO trade agreements.

The topic International Forecaster -- Bob Chapman February '06 US Markets notably Reply #2 came up in a quick search on the forum for this subject.

There should be plenty about NAFTA and WTO on SotT.

Hope this helps a bit. :)
