Abstract

The announcement of the negotiations for a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, TTIP) between the European Union and the United States has presented a notable analytical challenge. In spite of the fact that the project has a long tradition and the two partners are natural allies in different fronts of international relations, numerous sectors present difficulties for a good resolution. While tariff maximum reduction will not be an obstacle, regulations, mutual recognition and national specifications and protections will pose challenges for a negotiation that is not going to be easy, nor fast –it could be extended well after 2015. This study outlines the diverse perceptions on both sides of the Atlantic and adds some speculative comments about the impact on Latin America.
