EU to Ramp Up Transparency in TTIP Talks, Says Malmström

The EU will release online “detailed and extensive reports” on Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership negotiations in an effort to quell concerns over transparency, said Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmström. “The only changes in my trade policy will be more openness, not less,” said Malmström in a Friday blog post. “That is the pledge I gave at the beginning of my mandate. I am committed to keeping that promise.” The U.S. has come under fire for insufficient transparency in TTIP and Trans-Pacific Partnership talks.
