Still under negotiation, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is a comprehensive agreement between the EU and the US which aims to reduce the cost of trading goods and services by removing tariffs and non- tariff barriers such as regulatory measures. Given that mutual tariffs are already low, the main objective of TTIP is to harmonise regulations that are similar in aim and level of protection but different in method. This would reduce unnecessary costs for both EU and US firms. TTIP is increasingly subject to criticism.
The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership: An Agreement for the FutureTransatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership • September 17th, 2014
The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to stimulate and further integrate the transatlantic economy in response to significant geopolitical and economic challenges. Successful conclusion of the negotiations will catalyze increased trade in goods and services between the two key markets, contributing to job creation on both sides of the Atlantic. In addition, the broad impact of a transatlantic regional agreement could in effect set the new international trade rules. TABC is a longstanding supporter of closer transatlantic economic integration and supports swift conclusion of a comprehensive and ambitious TTIP agreement. At the same time we recognise the need for a negotiating process as transparent and inclusive as possible.
