Add to Calendar

Auditorium Ivan Pictet
Maison de la paix, Geneva

The outlook for negotiations on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is in real doubt. While EU trade ministers recently voted to continue negotiating the agreement, debate rages on about TTIP’s goals and expected benefits, and about the legitimate fears it generates. This event debates how bilateral discussions are likely to move forward, and assesses the prospects for an ambitious trade agreement with anti-globalisation protests growing on both sides of the Atlantic.

Keynote speech: Pascal Lamy, President Emeritus, Jacques Delors Institute

Moderator: Elvire Fabry, Senior Research Fellow, Jacques Delors Institute

With contributions from:

  • Richard Baldwin, Professor of International Economics, The Graduate Institute, Geneva (TTIP in the big picture of global trade)
  • Pierre Defraigne, Executive Director, Madariaga – College of Europe Foundation  (Stop TTIP)
  • Sorin Moisa, Member of the European Parliament, INTA Committee member (Why do we need a trade policy?)
  • Joost Pauwelyn, Professor of International Law, The Graduate Institute, Geneva (The ISDS conundrum)

Organised in partnership with the Jacques Delors Institute.
