Trans Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership

The Trans Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is a trade agreement which began to be negotiated between the EU and the USA in 2013. It is expected to lead to deregulation in many areas of trade. This includes trade in genetically modified (GM) crops and food and in data flows of medical and genetic data, relevant to human genetic testing.

However, the TTIP is expected to be dropped following the election of US President Donald Trump.
