“This new coalition will strengthen the voice of business in the TTIP negotiations, promoting a comprehensive and high-standards agreement,” said USCIB President Peter M. Robinson. “A deeper U.S.-EU commercial relationship will provide benefits on both sides of the Atlantic, including economic growth and job creation.”
Robinson said USCIB members were optimistic that regulatory hurdles could be effectively addressed in the context of a comprehensive trade and investment pact. “We want an ambitious agreement that can meet the needs of 21st-century business,” he said.
Coalition members will coordinate advocacy efforts and provide detailed input to negotiators from both sides of the Atlantic, and will serve as an information resource on important regulatory and investment issues as talks proceed.
