15th Round Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership Negotiations

The 15th round of negotiations concerning the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) was scheduled to take place on 3-7 October 2016, in New York.

This round was overshadowed by calls from several member states of the European Union to suspend negotiations, amid suggestions that new talks should start for an agreement under a different name.
