The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (T-TIP) with the European Union

U.S. and European businesses and workers deserve a level playing field, especially when state-owned enterprises (SOEs) that receive significant government backing engage in commercial activity. Achieving this objective would help establish disciplines to encourage SOEs to operate in markets in a transparent manner that does not distort trade or put our companies at a disadvantage. Agreed SOEs rules in T-TIP can also serve as a model to third country markets around the world.
