Transparency initiative: Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations
At the College meeting this early afternoon (25 November) in Strasbourg, President Juncker and the College of Commissioners will follow up on their debate last week on how to reinforce transparency within the European Commission and in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations.
The Transparency Initiative which is an important part of President Juncker's Political Guidelines, consists of two Commission Decisions, which are to be adopted today following an initial orientation debate among the College of Commissioners last week. Details of this debate were presented by First Vice President Timmermans during the College readout of 19 November.
The Decisions to be adopted today will confirm the type of information which the Commission must publish on meetings with interest representatives. Today, a press conference with Commissioner Malmström and the Chairman of the European Parliament’s Committee on International Trade, MEP Bernd Lange, will present the College’s decisions on transparency in TTIP initiatives. A press release with detailed information will be made available at the same time.
The press conference will be broadcast live by EBS.
