Moreira welcomes launch of EU-US Trade talks

Awaz News: "The European Parliament clearly welcomes the launch of trade negotiations with the US and will monitor closely the entire process, which should be as transparent as possible", said the European Parliament's International Trade Committee chair Vital Moreira (S&D, PT) on Friday, following today's EU Trade Council decision to grant EU negotiators a mandate to proceed with the talks.

He noted that the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership between the EU and the US has great potential for economic growth and job creation, but warned that the "Parliament will only give its final consent to the deal if it is in the best interest of our businesses, workers and consumers".
