Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership
(asked on 17th November 2014) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the potential effect of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership on UK rail policy.
This question was answered on 24th November 2014
Successful negotiation of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership will enable UK-based members of the rail supply chain to compete more successfully in the US market. We would like to see relaxation in the ‘Buy America’ policy which inhibits the opportunities for rail exports. My officials have been actively involved in discussions with EU and US counterparts.
