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.

[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.]
