The TTIP are negotiations between the US and the EU and, as the Deputy may be aware, on a domestic basis, our input is being led by the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation and his department. My department contributes to the inter-departmental working group and has attended events and workshops organised by DJEI. To-date, the TTIP discussions have been on broader issues rather than the financial sector. Briefing documents include references to for TTIP - based on briefings from DJEI - for meetings of Eurogroup or Ecofin.

There have been 7 representations recorded in the Department's system:

TTIP may also have been referred to at meetings with officials in general terms but no representations specifically made or submitted subsequently.
