The information presented in this publication belongs to the negotiations of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), a free trade agreement between the European Union and the United States.
The document is the EU's offer regarding services and investment, presented on the 26th of may 2014. In particular, it is a list of reservations outlining where the EU is not going to allow full market access to the US, or offer equal national treatment, in respect of services of various classes. This draft is up for comments in the European Commission today, 13th of june, and on the following 30th of june.
According to its proponents, the agreement opens a way for economic growth and job creation in the participating nations. On the other hand, critics argue that it implies a deregulation of key markets that limits the acting capacity of national governments in favour of big business. The lack of transparency surrounding the negotiations has been a subject of discontent on both sides of the Atlantic.
Because of this, in an effort to increase transparency over an agreement that affects the lives of countless people, the AWP is publishing this material for analysis and broadcasting by the media.
