The financial lobby plugging the latest free-trade deal, discussed with Kenneth Haar.
What is the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP)?
Probably the biggest global trade deal since the conclusion of the World Trade Organization (WTO) agreements in the early 1990s. It’s intended to be an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the US covering everything that has to do with trade. In modern-day life, trade is about almost any kind of money transaction, so it covers an enormous area.
