[Extract from the Statement]

This statement is presented on behalf of CETIM, a member of the Global Campaign for Peoples’ Sovereignty, Dismantling the Power of Transnational Corporations and Ending Impunity.

Mr Moderator, Your Excellency,

I would like to focus my speech on an essential question that characterises the current debates on the scope of the future binding treaty. The question is this: should the future treaty target TNCs or be extended to all companies?
