The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership

Negotiations on an historic trade deal between the European Union and the United States were losing momentum and must be revived, according to a UK Parliament House of Lords report published on the 13 May 2014.

The report described the deal, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, or TTIP, as being both the most ambitious trade and investment pact ever attempted and an opportunity to revitalise the relationship between Europe and the US. It also represented a chance for the two together to set a template for a new generation of 21st century trade and investment agreements.
