'Scaremongering' threatens trade deal, US ambassador warns MEPs
EUOBSERVER
#TTIP: Welcome Mr Gardner! "The 191-member S&D group, the Parliament’s second largest grouping, has indicated that it will not support a TTIP agreement which includes ISDS. "
You mean "regional" or "USglobal"? "TTIP, which could sit alongside a Trans-Pacific partnership trade deal that the US is currently negotiating with twelve countries including Japan, South Korea and Malaysia, was an “opportunity to set a standard for regional trade deals”."
A landmark EU-US trade deal is under threat due to “scaremongering”, the US ambassador to Brussels has warned MEPs. In a combative debate with deputies on the European Parliament's international trade committee on Wednesday (3 September), Anthony Gardner said that the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) had “triggered a wave of criticism that can only be described as scaremongering”. Gardner was making his first appearance in the parliament since his appointment as President Obama’s man in Brussels in February.
