Interesting article. I wasn't even aware the BDI was a thing. Thanks for the info.
"A true free trade deal should never need 5500+ pages of stipulations."
Damn, that's pretty true words I'd say. Is a copy of this trade deal available?
Rereading the article it does seem you are trying to cast an aura of fear... :/
The free trade TTIP-deal-content is a great secret. Only a handful of members of parliament are allowed to view it in a special room after being strip-searched, so that they only can take handwritten notes about the thousands of pages.
