(a) the current process for negotiating trade agreements needs to be amended to increase transparency around the negotiations and final text of agreements;
(b) all trade agreements should be subject to independent national interest assessments;
(c) investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) provisions need to be excluded from all trade agreements; and
