ABSTRACT

Much business lobbying takes place on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) on both sides of the Atlantic. Early on, both European and American business representatives contacted the European Commission to influence the agenda of the negotiations (Hakim 2013). In the United States (US), broad-based business associations such as the US Chamber of Commerce, sectoral associations such as the American Farm Bureau and individual companies such as Time Warner have been active in lobbying on TTIP.
