Leaders discussed the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership at the G20 meeting in Brisbane


A campaign group website says over a million people in the European Union have signed a petition against trade negotiations with the United States.

The petition calls on the EU and its member states to stop the talks on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership or TTIP.

It also says they should not ratify a similar deal that has already been done between the EU and Canada.

It says some aspects pose a threat to democracy and the rule of law.
