Press Release: EU and US adopt blueprint for open and stable investment climates

EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht and Deputy Assistant to the President of the United States Michael Froman agreed in April 2012 on an ambitious set of investment principles and openly invited other countries to follow suit.

In the framework of the Transatlantic Economic Council (TEC), the EU and the US have developed a blueprint for creating and maintaining stable, predictable and transparent investment regimes. The principles cover the elements which the EU and the US believe are necessary to attract long-term sustainable investment.
