CEEP Welcomes the report of the INTA Committee on TTIP

Reacting to today’s vote by the International Trade (INTA) Committee of the European Parliament on the draft report of the Parliament’s recommendations to the European Commission on the negotiations for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), Valeria Ronzitti, CEEP General Secretary, said:

“Since the beginning, CEEP has been supporting the overall objective of concluding an ambitious trade agreement with our US partner. However, the TTIP should not put at risk the provision of high-quality services of general interests in Europe, now and, more importantly, in the future.
In this regard, we can only welcome the report adopted today by the INTA committee, as it supports the exclusion of SGIs and SGEIs from the scope of application of TTIP.”
