TPP Coalition Urges High Standard Outcomes in letter to President and Congress   September 7, 2011 The President The White House Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: As the Chicago Round of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations commences this week, the undersigned members of the U.S. Business Coalition for TPP urge the United States and its TPP trading partners to move forward decisively and ambitiously so that the “broad outlines” of a final TPP agreement can be reached by the APEC Leaders’ meeting in Honolulu, as the TPP Ministers agreed in Big Sky, Montana, in May. While much work has already been accomplished through intensive negotiations, many difficult issues and decisions remain. With only one additional negotiating round before the APEC Leaders’ meeting, it is necessary for the Chicago Round to produce substantial progress across all negotiating groups this week and next.   Click here to download the .pdf

The U.S. Business Coalition for TPP supports the negotiation of a high-standard TPP agreement that will open markets for U.S. farmers, manufacturers and service providers and increase U.S. exports and support and create American jobs. A strong TPP agreement should also advance security, stability and prosperity throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
