The problem with these deals is that citizens of a partner country cannot easily overturn them. When you agree on international standards and some partner wants to introduce higher standards in their own country, they are liable for the losses of companies who suddenly cannot sell their products in that one country anymore. Of course I do not know the specifics of this agreement yet, but clauses that enforce this have been introduced into all attempts at international trade treaties for more than a decade now, so I think it is a safe bet to say this one contains them as well.
