The Toy Industry Association (TIA) is generally supportive of efforts to pursue a comprehensive U.S.-EU transatlantic trade and investment partnership (T-TIP).  The TIA has a membership of more than 600 businesses – from toy manufacturers, retailers and importers to inventors, designers and testing labs – all involved in creating and bringing safe toys and games to children. Its members account for 85% of the $22 billion U.S. toy market. The U.S. toy industry supports an estimated 533,177 jobs, generating $25.8 billion in wages for U.S.
