Entrepreneurs explain why TTIP is good for SMEs

The transatlantic trade and investment partnership (TTIP) will not serve the interests of big corporations only. Micro, small and medium-sized companies are the ones that will benefit the most from the agreement. Five entrepreneurs from across Europe, leading small companies active in different manufacturing and services sectors spanning from machinery to textiles, on January 22nd reported on their experiences and gave concrete examples as to why TTIP will improve the business environment, improving SME competitiveness and ultimately promoting better paid jobs if the right deal is achieved. The breakfast event was hosted at the European Parliament by Bernd Lange, Chairman of the INTA Committee, and organised by BUSINESSEUROPE.
