Brussels, 31 August 2016 - After three years of negotiations, the TTIP talks between the EU and US remain on track. As both sides reiterated this week, the EU and US remain deeply committed to concluding a high-standard, comprehensive deal by the end of 2016.

Trade talks of this magnitude, particularly between two of the world’s largest and most integrated economies, are highly complex and take time. Ultimately, the speed of the negotiations is less important than its final content. Following the last round of negotiations, negotiators reported progress and ongoing dialogue in key areas.

AmCham EU and business groups in the EU and US are convinced that TTIP would boost growth, jobs and standards on both sides of the Atlantic. We remain ready and willing to engage with all stakeholders to help deliver the best possible deal.
