This is pretty sad. How do rules like this come into being? How is the public ever supposed to have a good idea of what is going on in these meetings?
I did a little bit of reading about the public's opinion of the TTIP, and it's shown that it's not a well-liked partnership, especially in Europe. It's not very democratic and seems to be tilted in the United States' favor. Also, it seems that it's causing a lowering in food safety standards. Here's an informative article about the European stance on the agreement. http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/what-is-ttip-and-six-reasons-why-the-answer-should-scare-you-9779688.html
It was very interesting how TTIP Farce made this procedure. This video definitely reveals reality of TTIP Farce. Under the name of democracy and great achievements, they are truly acting like dictators. I was once again surprised how the authorities still under democracy can navigate the direction of public opinions in their documents.
