Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, which provisions under negotiation for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership are not a matter of EU competence and will require ratification by each EU member state.

The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership negotiating directives adopted by the Council call for an ambitious agreement which would include areas of Member State competence, such as parts of portfolio investment, aspects of taxation and protections against expropriation.
