Thanks to CETA, companies could use policymakers to sue against existing nature conservation laws and do destructive business at the expense of the environment and people. For example, energy companies could claim permission for fracking, even though it has been shown to cause severe damage to the environment. Similarly, it would be possible to take legal action against the prohibition of harmful poisons such as glyphosate or neonicotinoids, although these are proven to be toxic to many animals, plant ecosystems or humans. Genetically modified plants can also enter the EU unbridled by CETA, which on the one hand threatens biodiversity and could suppress native species, but on the other hand would also boost the use of field poisons even further. Everything would have a massive impact on biodiversity and climate change.
