Safeguarding public education against the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership
The EU and the US started negotiating the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership in July 2013.
The outcome of such an agreement on a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership may have critical implications of the member states’ capacity to regulate and as a consequence to provide public services including public education. In particular, trade agreements such as the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership make the reversal of liberalisation and the establishment of new services more difficult. More information on this topic can be found in the draft report PUBLIC SERVICES IN EU TRADE AND INVESTMENT AGREEMENTS available at http://www.epsu.org/IMG/pdf/Draft_report_Markus_Krajewski_mtg14Nov2013.pdf.
