Many good reasons to make noise over TTIP

TTIP, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, has been described by European Trade Commission as the “most heavily contested acronym in Europe”. 

yet its primary function is to create the world’s biggest free-trade zone and increase transatlantic business and profits.

Last week, the US and EU concluded their 14th round of negotiations as US resident Barack Obama hopes to finalise TTIP before leaving office in 2017.
