Almost three years to the day after the EU RAAP ruling was delivered, the European Commission published a second stakeholder consultation which will run until 12 November. The online survey is available in English, French and German.

As a reminder, our position on RAAP can be summarised as follows:

1. We are not seeking mandatory reciprocity, but rather the express recognition of the principle of reciprocal treatment, with an accommodation for countries already applying another system.
2. That the European Commission does not concede to national treatment in any trade negotiations with the USA or any other country that doesn’t have similar domestic rights.
