What is really puzzling me is how the procedure for this got approved, and by whom. Who is telling MP's and MEP's that they have to follow these rules? And how are they bound by them?

The guys pushing ttip i guess

They're probably allowed to do it however they please, after all they wrote the document and are free to "license" it however they want

What puzzles me is that TTIP is even in consideration anymore with these measures and all the secret keeping in place. If it truly were that good for us WHY on earth would you take these measures?

"coordination" is the argument for secrecy.

As there will be single-issue opponents in each of the parties, any multi-parties negotiation will fail if it happens in public.
