The European Parliament finally voted on 8 July on one of the most important dossiers it deals with in this term, the Trade Agreement with the US (TTIP). A comfortable majority of Members have endorsed the continuation of negotiations conducted by the EU Executive (the Commission) with its American counterpart. The pro-TTIP camp was formed of the People’s Party (EPP), the majority of the Socialists & Democrats (S&D), Conservatives & Reformists (ECR) and Liberal-democrats (ALDE), which gathered 436 votes (61%).
