The Daily Beast quotes VP and Director of the Transatlantic Relations Program Frances Burwell on the misunderstandings surrounding the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP):
Frances G. Burwell, vice president of the Atlantic Council insists that most of the fears raised by protesters are based on misunderstandings. “There is a perception that TTIP is only for big corporations,” she says. “But the Unilevers and Shells of this world have the lawyers to deal with bureaucracy. It is rather the smaller and medium-sized ones who really need the removal of the rules, and need a simplified regulatory structure.”
