What is the TTIP?

It's the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.

TTIP is the biggest free-trade agreement ever, it's being discussed for quite a while now between Europe and the US. The discussions have been critizised for their lack of transparency and a lot of people fear that industry regulations will be lower after the agreement diminishing rights of citizens. Since the outcome will affect 820 million people, we're investigating it.

According to the reddit discussion, a number of the documents have already been made public.

[Ed. update: Typo fix and revised the link to the correctiv.org web site to point to the English version; removed text pertaining to the German version.]

  The link at the bottom didn't work for me when I clicked it either, but if you actually pull the link out and paste into the browser, there is an actual English version, here is the link to save you the time https://correctiv.org/en/investigations/ttip/documents/ [correctiv.org]
