#TTIP #Stakeholders

On Wednesday 24th February, during the 12th round of the Transatlantic Trade & Investment partnership (TTIP) negotiations, the European Commission organizes a stakeholders event.

This represents an opportunity for GI Groups to meet the TTIP negotiators, deliver a 5-minute presentation on their expectations for GIs in the TTIP and support the GIs in the context of such complex negotiation. To see what oriGIn and its members have done in previous TTIP stakeholders events, see http://www.origin-gi.com/site_content/117-news/6761-16-07-2014-origin-ttip-stakeholder-presentations-events.html
