Title: Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP)
Post by: kat on January 30, 2014, 04:37:31 PM
The Transatlantic and Investment Partnership is another legislative behemoth that aims to "remov[e] trade barriers in a wide range of economic sectors to make it easier to buy and sell goods and services between the EU and the US". It affects all sectors of business, trade and investment, and even seeks to have an affect over the Internet and Copyright (why it's being mentioned here).
