Report meeting with renewable energy industry/"Alliance"
Present: DG TRADE, ICTSD, ABB, ALSTOM, EWEA, EPIA
Focus of discussion was on how TTIP could foster trade and investment in renewable energy with the
industry (the 'Alliance' which also includes ICTSD). Industry made a link with Environmental Goods
Agreement. By being an example, TTIP could have a(n) (big) impact on agreeing on non-tariff rules
and energy services liberalisation in other negotiations too. ICTSD announced the publication of a
paper dealing with the above mentioned issues. Paper will be published in September. We agreed
with the industry on a follow up in September.
