  • 90% of world economic growth over the next 10-15 years will be generated outside Europe and part of that growth will be in the United States.
  • The Agreement TTIP encourages economic growth, investment and employment. It will open new opportunities for large, medium and small businesses, as well as making reductions of costs and formalities when exporting or investing in the United States. This will benefit consumers because they will have a widest possible access to a huge range of goods and services with better prices.

The TTIP covers three pillars: market access, regulatory aspects and ensemble of global rules.

In addition to create a transatlantic market public procurement, in order that companies can compete under conditions of equality.
