TTIP, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership is a series of trade negotiations being carried out between the EU and US. The bilateral trade agreement deals with reducing regulatory barriers to big business trade: food safety law, environmental legislation, banking regulations and the sovereign powers of individual nations.
The aim of the talks is to turn the EU and US into the largest free-trade area in the world. However there are concerns that the negotiations, which have mostly been held in secret, could give too much power to private corporations and potentially undermine human rights.
