Summary/Abstract: Although some preliminary work has been done by the US-EU High Level Working Group in 2012, real negotiations on a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) should start in the second half of 2013. The new initiative is motivated not only by the prospects of direct economic gains but it is also hoped to reignite transatlantic political relations and maybe even the languishing multilateral trade negotiation process.
