Negotiation Bases and Application Perspectives of TTIP with Reference to Food Law

In recent months, the international headlines have turned their attention to the ongoing negotiations between European Union and United States within the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). Actually, meetings between representatives of both the superpowers began more than two years ago, although their pace has not been very lively so far. While officers of both the parties are currently preparing the thirteenth negotiation round, some scientific papers and academic articles have been already produced and their number is expected to rapidly grow. This research investigates the implications of the treaty for food law. In this view, the purpose of the work is to highlight, with regard to the macro-sector of food law, the respective starting positions in both the legal systems and the possible outcomes of such an agreement.
