January 20, 2015 6:03 am
The EU’s health chief said that no clear majority has so far emerged among EU states for a free-trade agreement between the European Union and the United States
Chancellor Angela Merk0el advised the 28-nation EU to negotiate with the U.S. on what would be the biggest trade deal in the world. But there is public opposition in Europe based on fears of weaker food and environmental standards.
Vytenis Andriukaitis, European commissioner for health and food safety said that they have to take people’s concerns seriously.
The EU has said the final wording would, however, remain confidential until an agreement was reached on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
