But it is not acceptable for the EU to offer foreign investors protection from a European country’s inability to meet its obligations, in particular to service its debt. Such a move, as Handelsblatt’s Norbert Häring recently pointed out, would transform the TTIP into a mechanism for mutualizing liability within the EU.
但欧盟因欧洲国家无法履行其义务，特别是无法偿债而向外国投资者提供保护并不可取。正如《德国商报》的Norbert Häring 最近指出的那样，此举可能把跨大西洋贸易和投资伙伴关系变成债务责任共有化的工具。
