Do you support the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP)?

Yes, but only if food safety and environmental legislation is kept to a strict standard i.e., the EU standard rather than lowering to the US standard

 @4VQTBLMfrom Nottingham  answered…6yrs6Y

If the US adapt their crops to adhere to EU GA rules and regulations and EU Data Protection laws are kept.

 @9QK54D2answered…2yrs2Y

No, we should focus on a new and tailored trade partnership between the UK and the US, that suits us both. The EU is not a factor.

 @9M5W96Kanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but those goods that are traded through the TTIP, the suppliers will need to operate with increased transparency with the UK taking priority on suppliers with high quality food safety standards and environmental protection policies.

 @9JNGGBDanswered…2yrs2Y

while the bureaucracy isn't good, the way the world is currently sees such partnerships as common practice. Ideally I'd say no, practically I'd say yes.

 @9FN8PSZanswered…3yrs3Y

Not currently as no deal with the USA is an equal one and safety/environment is compromised

 @9FJM24Nanswered…3yrs3Y

Only if the deal is good for the uk good trad links with the eu is more important

 @9DVTY6Fanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes but we should adopt a unilateral free trade policy
