EU-US trade deal will reduce red tape and boost SME growth – Kelly

Seán Kelly, Fine Gael MEP for Ireland South, has called for a strong harmonisation of business regulations to be prioritised in the ongoing EU-US trade or Transatlantic Trade and Investment Agreement (TTIP) negotiations, in order to boost SME growth. Mr Kelly was speaking as Ireland’s only member of the Parliament’s Trade Committee, ahead of a major TTIP information seminar he is hosting in the European Parliament’s Dublin Office on Tuesday, May 26th. Business leaders, elected representatives and media in attendance will receive an overview of the EU-US trade talks, ongoing negotiations, possible outcomes and the potential such a deal holds for Ireland.
