TTIP
The Lifelong Learning Platform promotes a comprehensive approach to education where bridges are made between non-formal and formal education. Therefore, it is deeply concerned by the possible consequences of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations on our European education and training sectors. Without a clear exemption system, the agreement could represent a threat to most educational sectors and in turn be a threat to our European social model.
The Platform wants to firmly underline that education is a public good and asks the European Commission and the Member States to exclude education from the negotiations.
