Merkel assures: TTIP will be signed

The free trade agreement between the United States and the European Union "has not failed", and precisely could get the classic twist. The next day the words of Vice cancellerier German Gabriel, who had announced the failure of TTIP, Brussels wanted to deny.

"The European Commission has made steady progress in the current negotiations on the TTIP," said European Commission spokesman, Margaritis Schinas, recalling that "the Commission has received unanimous negotiation mandate of the Member States to negotiate this agreement."

And German Chancellor Angela Merkel has confirmed that negotiations between the EU and US to develop a comprehensive free trade agreement (TTIP) "are moving forward."

Also from Italy, words confirmation came: the Minister of Economic Development Carlo Calenda that in an interview with Corriere della Sera said: "I know the doubts Gabriel … but we have to move on. For Italy this agreement is essential. the US is the market with the highest growth potential for our exports ".

The opposite view, France will ask the suspension of the Treaty. The Secretary of State for Foreign Trade, Matthias Fekl announced that "at the end of September, I will ask on behalf of Paris arresting Tafta negotiations," he told Rmc motivating: "The Americans leave only crumbs, no is a negotiation on equal terms. " We need to "start on a good foundation."
