TTIP documents could be made public after EU court ruling | EurActiv
European Union documents relating to the EU-US trade deal, the
Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), could be made
public after a European Court of Justice ruling yesterday (3 July).
TTIP is currently being negotiated between the EU and US. It will be
the biggest bilateral trade deal in history if completed, and covers a
wide range of goods and services. The sixth rounds of talks are set to
start this month.
While the European Commission has said the talks have been open, some
civil society organisations and members of European Parliament,
including EP President Martin Schulz, have argued they are not
transparent enough.
