Despite lengthy negotiations and the optimism of the top-level political elites in Hannover in April 2016, the fate of TTIP is far from certain. The on-going revelations based on leaked documents were meant to give an important blow to the negotiations. Their real impact on the public opinion will be measurable in the coming weeks, while on the medium-term crucial electoral contests are looming ahead. Most of the commentaries that analyse TTIP look at the technical challenges, ie. disagreements between the two sides in various chapters, whereas the political / civic challenges seem to be highly underestimated. This analysis takes a birds-eye view of the EU-wide political landscape in the coming period (especially Germany, France and Austria), the likely developments in the European public opinion and their impact on the outcome of this game-changing trade deal. |
