The European Ombudsman, Emily O'Reilly, has welcomed the announcement of European Parliament President Martin Schulz that future trade negotiations, and in particular the on-going negotiations with the US on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) will be more transparent and open for stakeholder involvement. This comes after the Ombudsman's recommendation to make such negotiations more transparent and the recognition of the EU institutions themselves of past failures in such trade talks.
