Critics of TTIP argue that “THE rules of ISDR undermine the power of national governments to act in the interests of their citizens”[14] that “TTIP could even undermine the democratic authority of local government”[17] and threaten democracy. [86] France and Germany have stated that they want to remove TTIP`s access to investor-state dispute settlement. [87] In December 2013, a coalition of more than 200 environmentalists, trade unions and consumer associations on both sides of the Atlantic sent a letter to the USTR and the European Commission calling for the settlement of investor-state disputes to be withdrawn from trade negotiations, saying ISDS was “a one-way street by which companies can challenge government policy , but does not grant comparable rights to governments or individuals to hold companies to account.” [88] [89] Some point to the “potential for abuse” that may be inherent in the trade agreement because of its investor protection clauses. [90] [91] A recent study shows that there is indeed remarkably strong and consistent opposition to the trade agreement in investor-state dispute settlement (ISDR), and that this dispute settlement effect is characterized by characteristic cuts to key attributes of the individual, including qualification levels, information and national mood, which have been considered key factors in the business attitude. [92] The European Commission claims that the TTIP would boost the EU economy by 120 billion euros, the US economy by 90 billion euros and the rest of the world by 100 billion euros. [7] According to Anu Bradford, a law professor at Columbia Law School, and Thomas J. Bollyky of the Council on Foreign Relations, TTIP aims to “liberalize one-third of world trade” and create millions of new jobs. [8] An article in Dean Baker`s Guardian of the AMERICAN think tank Center for Economic and Policy Research[10][11] argued that the economic benefits per household would be relatively small. [12] According to a report by the European Parliament, the impact on working conditions ranges from job gains to job losses, depending on the economic model and assumptions used in the forecasts. [13] This bilateral customs agreement, which the United States and the EU intend to formally implement in the fall of 2020, was the culmination of negotiations that intensified following a meeting between President Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Davos in January 2020.
Discussions between the US and the EU on possible tariff cuts and the elimination of non-tariff barriers began in earnest in July 2018, when President Trump met at the White House with Commission President von der Leyen`s predecessor, Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker. In March 2013, an economic assessment by the European Centre for Economic Policy Research predicts that such a comprehensive agreement would lead to GDP growth of 68 to 119 billion euros for the European Union by 2027 and GDP growth of 50 to 95 billion euros (about 53.5 to 101 billion dollars) in the United States in the same time frame.
