House Panel Members Offer Conflicting Views Of TTIP Regulatory Goals

摘要

Democratic and Republican members of a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee that oversees consumer and motor vehicle safety regulators this week showed deep divides along party lines over the stated U.S. and European Union goal of narrowing regulatory differences in a trans-Atlantic trade agreement. In a July 24 hearing, Democrats on the Energy and Commerce subcommittee on commerce, manufacturing and trade expressed strong skepticism about the trade initiative's goal of reducing what U.S. and EU negotiators term unnecessary regulatory costs.
