UNITED STATES - Brussels, 7 January 2015 - Now online - EU negotiating texts in TTIP. The European Commission is negotiating TTIP as openly as possible. A final agreement would have 24 chapters, grouped together in 3 parts: 1) Market access, 2) Regulatory cooperation, 3) Rules
http://linkis.com/trade.ec.europa.eu/d/f7tuS
And as part of our latest transparency initiative, we're publishing:
new 2-page factsheets, in plain language
negotiating texts we've given US negotiators:
EU textual proposals on parts 2 and 3 of the TTIP – these set out how we'd want a final deal to read, line by line
EU position papers – what we want to achieve in a chapter.
We will publish further texts as they become available.
We will make the whole text of the agreement public once negotiations have been concluded – well in advance of its signature and ratification.
For the text of a recently completed EU trade agreement, see the text of the EU-Canada Free Trade Agreement (CETA). The text is still subject to legal revision.
POSITION PAPERS set out and describe the European Union's general approach on topic in the TTIP negotiations. They are tabled for discussion with the US in negotiating rounds.
TEXTUAL PROPOSALS are the European Union's initial proposals for legal text on topics in TTIP. They are tabled for discussion with the US in negotiating rounds. The actual text in the final agreement will be a result of negotiations between the EU and US.
