−

On January 27, 2012, Kader Arif, EU parliamentary rapporteur resigned from his position in protest of the treaty. He described the process of the international agreement as "problematic." According to him, "~~“This~~ agreement might have major consequences on citizens’ lives, and still, everything is being done to prevent the European Parliament from having its say in this matter. That is why today, as I release this report for which I was in charge, I want to send a strong signal and alert the public opinion about this unacceptable situation. I will not take part in this masquerade." <ref>
