        | Risks and Opportunities for the EU Agri-food sector in a possible EU-US Trade Agreement 
 The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) is under negotiation. This report provides a detailed overview of EU - US agricultural trade.

 Reforming the European Investment Bank: a New Architecture for Public Investment in Europe
