TTIP – What's in it for small and medium-sized enterprises

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of the European economy and a key driver for economic growth and job creation. Released on 22 January 2015, BusinessEurope's brochure highlights why they are poised to receive significant benefits from the TTIP negotiations. TTIP will include a chapter especially dedicated to SMEs, but more generally all chapters will have provisions that will allow SMEs to benefit from the agreement in different areas such as increased transparency, improved access to public procurement markets, duty elimination, trade facilitation or protection of intellectual property rights.
