US/EU trade deal - will it mean "secret courts"?

A reader has asked Taglines to point out that a consultation by the EU is being held to gauge opinion on US demands that a right for corporate entities to sue governments in tribunals be included in the trade talks.

"The US is determined to force Europe to adopt rules that let corporations sue governments in secret courts, under the dangerous TTIP trade deal.
But facing pressure, the EU has agreed to a public consultation on the dangerous rules.
Comments close in just a few days -- let's make sure the EU can't ignore our views and says no to secret corporate courts". To add your voice click the link below.

NB the link is not to the EU but to an activist website who presumably will forward this to the relevant body.
