"Greenpeace Leaks U.S.-E.U. Trade Deal Documents"

"LONDON — The Dutch chapter of the environmental activist group Greenpeace leaked on Monday what it called a trove of documents from the talks over a proposed trade deal between the European Union and the United States.

The proposed deal, which President Obama would like to see finalized before he leaves office, has already been receiving criticism on both sides of the Atlantic.

According to Greenpeace, the documents indicate that American trade negotiators have pressed their European counterparts to loosen important environmental, consumer protection and other provisions as part of the deal, known as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership."
