Text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership
I suspect it will take a while for all of this text to be digested and for people much smarter than me to find a lot of nasty stuff in there.Meanwhile, I found the New Zealand and US side letter amusing:>To the extent contemplated in the Code, New Zealand shall not permit the sale of any
product as Bourbon Whiskey or Tennessee Whiskey, unless it has been manufactured in
the United States according to the laws of the United States governing the manufacture of Bourbon Whiskey and Tennessee Whiskey and the product complies with all applicable
regulations of the United States for the sale or export as Bourbon Whiskey or Tennessee Whiskey.I assume this must be quite prevalent in New Zealand if they wrote a letter specific to this one issue.  I didn't see a similar letter with France regarding cognac or champagne.
