- Up to $75 billion per year in Organization for Economic

Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries goes to support

oil, gas, and coal.

-The U.S. and a number of EU countries have already committed

to eliminating fossil fuel subsidies.

Recommendations for TTIP:

-! Commit to increased transparency of fossil fuel subsidies

-! Develop final plans & timelines to phase-out subsidies to fossil fuel industry

-! List subsidies to fossil fuel industry as prohibited subsidies.

-! Ensure governments have the flexibility to put in place subsidies for clean

energy programs, listing those subsidies as “green light”
