(BMLTV) November 7, 2013 - The EU and the US today announced they will hold a second round
of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) talks in Brussels from Monday 11th
– Friday 15th November 2013.
The week-long round of negotiations replaces the talks
originally scheduled for 7th-11th October but which were postponed due to the
shutdown of the
US
government. This round of negotiations will now put the TTIP discussion process
fully back on track in terms of the planned negotiation timeline.
The teams of negotiators from either side of the
Atlantic are expected to discuss services, investment,
energy and raw materials, and regulatory issues. The negotiations’ session on
public procurement had taken place before the shutdown.
