Government mandated efficiency ratings on vehicles and appliances? Government mandated lists of side-effects on pharmaceuticals? This does not follow at all. The TPP does not advance free markets or free trade. It exports US-style industrial protectionism, and denies sovereign states the ability to enact basic consumer protections. they will be well aware of what choices they are making

I wish I could provide you with citations, but I can't. The actual text of the trade agreement is confidential, and the deliberations have been kept hidden from public scrutiny. The little that we do know has come from partial copies leaked by wikileaks and others.
I don't necessarily disagree with you, but surely you could at least provide sources based on the leaked versions?
