Car industry 'buried report revealing US car safety flaws over fears for TTIP deal' [View all]

We really shouldn't be surprised at what the powers that be are willing to sacrifice to complete their global coup.



The motor industry has been accused of withholding a report that reveals US cars are substantially less safe than European vehicles - for fear that the findings would hamper the drive to harmonise safety standards as part of the controversial Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) deal.

The major study was commissioned by the car industry to show that existing EU and US safety standards were broadly similar.

But the research actually established that American models are much less safe when it comes to front-side collisions, a common cause of accidents that often result in serious injuries./div]
