I met Mr. Tom Donohue, President and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, on Thursday April 18th 2013, for a courtesy call. Mr. Donohue was in Dublin to speak at a conference organised by the US Embassy, at which I delivered the keynote address on the importance of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. The prospects for an EU-US trade agreement was the main topic of discussion during my meeting with Mr. Donohue. The US Chamber of Commerce represents the interests of more than 3 million businesses, and is a key stakeholder in supporting the negotiation of a trade agreement. We also discussed Ireland's EU Presidency, our progress towards economic recovery, and Ireland's enduring attractiveness as a location for investment by US firms.
