Discovering Data In Application: The Trans-Pacific Partnership, we summarized some of the provisions of TPP and the views of consumer and environmental groups. The text of the TPP agreement is available at:

https://ustr.gov/tpp/#text. We will use that text to dig deeper into the agreement.

a. Consider the provisions listed in the Application, namely: Dispute Settlement, Intellectual Property Protection, Labor Rights, Environmental Protection, and Tariffs and Rules of Origin. For each of these items, which chapter of TPP would cover that topic?

b. For each of these topics, scan the chapter to find the sections that discuss the key features of each provision, as we have summarized it in the Application. List the sentence(s) of the TPP text that support our summary in the Application. In addition, describe one other feature of each provision that we have not mentioned in the Application.

c. In the Application we also discussed the views of consumer and environmental groups. For each provision, go online to find a statement from one group that either supports or does not support each provision, and include these statements with your answer.
