EU-wide investment guarantees would artificially reduce the rate of interest under which single EU countries could borrow and thus encourage these countries to take on more debt, effectively suspending the self-correcting mechanism of the capital markets. That would lead to the next act in the European debt disaster, with consequences that far outweigh the TTIP’s benefits.
欧盟范围内的投资担保将会人为降低某个欧盟国家的借贷利率，因此鼓励这些国家承担更多债务，从而在实际上中止了资本市场的自我修正机制。这会将欧债灾难拖入下一幕，由此产生的后果远大于跨大西洋贸易和投资伙伴关系带来的好处。
