The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is one of the biggest political decisions of this European political term. A free trade agreement between the world’s two largest economies has the potential to provide clear positive effects to the world economy. Beyond political discussions, businesses of all sizes will face both opportunities and challenges in their day-to-day activities and operations. EurActiv Institute organised a high-level debate to discuss how TTIP, an ambitious agreement between the EU and the US, would affect companies of different sizes, from different industries and countries. Questions included: - What obstacles are companies confronting today when trading with the US and vice versa? How could TTIP facilitate their activities? - What sectors would benefit the most from TTIP? Which ones would face the greatest risks? - How would TTIP affect companies in their daily operations and results? - How will TTIP impact SMEs?
