US and Trans-Pacific Trade Deal (By Sylodium, international trade directory)

The 19th round of negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) begins in Brunei this week; the US Trade Representative has called a meeting of TPPA Trade Ministers who are also at an APEC meeting in Brunei on August 22-23. This meeting is designed to pressure them to finish the deal as quickly and secretly as possible, according to Dr. Patricia Ranald, Convenor of the Australian Fair Trade and Investment Network (AFTINET).

She added "Negotiations on market access for goods and services have barely begun. Japan only joined the negotiations in July, and their government has promised Japanese farmers that they will keep protections for key agricultural products like rice and beef. The US is still refusing additional agricultural market access for countries with which it has bilateral agreements".
