Sommario/riassunto

The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP) is a potential reciprocal free trade agreement (FTA) that the United States and the European Union (EU) are negotiating with each other. T-TIP raises a range of issues of congressional interest: Will the United States and EU be able to successfully conclude a comprehensive and high-standard FTA through the T-TIP negotiations? What are the economic and broader strategic implications of a potential T-TIP? How does the T-TIP address U.S. trade negotiating objectives? What is T-TIP's relationship to the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), other potential trade agreements, and the multilateral trading system more generally? How do the T-TIP negotiations balance confidentiality and transparency? Should other countries be allowed to join the T-TIP negotiations or a completed agreement, and what are the implications?
