  • As economic power has become more consequential in world affairs, so too has American leadership on trade. If the United States leads on trade, it can strengthen the rules-based order. For over seven decades, American leadership of the global trading system has helped bring jobs to our shores, partners to our defense, and peace and prosperity to those around the world who have embraced openness and fairness.

    At a time when the crisis in Ukraine has triggered deep unease, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) will remind the world that our transatlantic partnership is second-to-none. This agreement will deepen our economic relationship with the European Union, already the world's largest, by bridging divergences between our regulations and standards - without compromising health, safety, environmental, and consumer protection on both sides of the Atlantic. Many in Europe are looking to TTIP not only to spur much-needed economic growth but also to support efforts to reform European energy policies and create greater energy security.

  • United Kingdom’s Center for Economic Policy Research estimates that 80 percent of the potential economic gains from the TTIP agreement depend on reducing the conflicts and duplication between EU and U.S. rules on those and other regulatory issues, ranging from food safety to automobile parts.
  • Cultural attitudes on each side toward consumer safety, environmental protection, and privacy run deep, and they will not be overcome with promises of diffuse economic benefits and future job growth.
  • The negotiations should seek to ensure that the United States and Europe remain standard makers, rather than standard takers, in the global economy.

  • Promoting common rules and certification regimes that cover 800 million EU and U.S. consumers would provide predictability for exporters and investors, make it easier for them to comply with regulations in multiple markets, and thus permit economies of scale. Enabling the EU and the United States to share data and rely on each other’s inspections would stretch scarce regulatory resources and reduce the commercial burden of duplicative tests and requirements. The outcome would be smarter and more streamlined regulation that benefits businesses while protecting the general public from regulatory failures.
  • The TTIP represents the best -- and possibly the last -- opportunity for the United States and the EU to set the global regulatory blueprints by providing a template on which other trade deals can build.
