In the summer of 2013, representatives of the United States and the European Union opened negotiations to establish the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), which would deepen the relationship between the world’s two leading economies and create the world’s largest free-trade area.

Background
• The EU already is the No.1 destination for US exports and the No.1 source of all US imports
• EU-US relationship already supports a combined 13 million jobs on both asides of the Atlantic
• Some $3.9 trillion are invested in both directions every year, representing 45% of the global GDP
• The bilateral trade in goods and services exceeds $1 trillion every year
• TTIP can only enhance this solid performance

How will TTIP achieve this?
• By eliminating nearly all tariffs standing in the way of the trade and investment flows
• By streamlining the regulatory regimes - tackling those barriers which are behind the customs border – such as differences in technical regulations, standards and certifications
• By reducing the regulatory burden and bureaucracy, as well as by opening up the services and public procurement markets, which are currently costing businesses time and money

average increase is 33% per state• all sectors benefit from increased exports
