Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership

On the subject of food, two companies in my constituency wanted to export to the United States, but the border controls and financial conditions to which they were subjected ensured that they could not be competitive there. They therefore

had to franchise out in the United States, which meant that the company back home could not grow or create jobs here, which shows the unfairness of the system.
