Summary/Abstract: Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership is a proposed agreement between the United States and the European Union, which concerns four important areas of cooperation: market access, cooperation in the field of legislation, regulations and institutional provisions. The content of theTreaty, and especially the so-called investment protection system, causes a number of controversies and negative emotions among the public. Moreover, these emotions relate to the assessment of the expected economic impact of the TTIP. The purpose of this article is to analyze and evaluate major controversies around the TTIP. The authors have also attempted to determine how social expectations about the economic benefits of TTIP are justified in the so-called “expertise” knowledge.It seems that the results of the analysis allow to conclude that social expectations are rather ambiguous, sometimes contradictory and expert opinions are rather unclear and not convincing to build an appropriate benchmark.
