Legislators express serious concern over EU-US trade deal
By Jerome Hughes, Press TV, Brussels
The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP, will create the world's largest free-trade area if an agreement is reached. As the United States has softer regulation than the European Union campaigners say that standards will drop considerably. Bercero and his American counterpart, Dan Mullaney, insist the deal will be good for citizens but civil society groups say TTIP is all about feeding big business and corporate greed. The next major public protest against TTIP is scheduled to take place here in just over two week's time on the 19th of December when EU prime ministers and heads of government hold their final summit of 2014. Thousands are expected to pack the streets in opposition to the trade deal.
