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.

Having plowed through many of the documents, there is little that should come as a surprise. Most of it is also on the EU Negotiations site. This might not be getting the publicity that it deserves, but it is not because the EU is trying to hide it, in fact quite the opposite. It is the first of the trade agreements that is getting any publicity at all - the fact that not many are accessing the information is hardly the fault of the EU.
Still, I don't like the look of what is being discussed. Somebody will drive a coach and horses through whatever is actually agreed.
