The case for such an agreement is strong. Although trade barriers are already low, the sheer size of the transatlantic economy —$30 trillion — means that even small improvements can yield significant gains. With half of the world GDP, one-third of world trade flows and 15 million jobs linked to it, the transatlantic economy is still the driver of the world economy. A Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership would thus have global implications and could also deliver much needed progress for global trade.
