The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP): The sluggish state of negotiations

This analysis from the European Parliament looks at the current state of negotiations in relation to the political objectives of the EU mandate and those expressed by the European Parliament in its recent resolution on TTIP, as well as the US Congress’s objectives as specified in the Trade Promotion Authority (TPA) Act. 

It also examines progress on each chapter of TTIP and what issues still need to be overcome. The analysis concludes that negotiations need to be sped up significantly if an agreement is to be completed before the end of the Obama administration.
