In the study, all the potential costs of TTIP are highlighted, and Dr. Raza accepts those figures are estimates. There is little emphasis on the potential benefits, other than an observation that the increase in growth will be small. Does Dr. Raza accept that because Europe has bounced along without any growth in recent years, an increase of anywhere between half a percentage point and one percentage point is enormous and to call it small is unfair?
