An excerpt of the paper follows:
"Europe, the EU, is one of our key, strategic partners; not only for security reasons, but also for economic and political reasons. Advancing this relationship through such a negotiation is therefore very important globally. It is very important for the individual countries. It's important for people. It's important for people because what TTIP seeks to do is to reduce barriers – whether they are tariff barriers or non-tariff barriers. And by doing this, we hope to be able to have more export and import from both sides. This is good for businesses. This is good for consumers. And this is also good for employees." -- Colombia Barrose, U.S. Consulate General to Southern Italy.
