answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2014 answer text <p>The Government supports the new Trade Commissioner’s desire to bring greater transparency to trade negotiations. Official EU documents pertaining to trade negotiations should, in the Government’s view, as a matter of principle be published when to do so would not impact negatively on the EU’s ability to secure the best possible deal for Europe.</p><p>We have welcomed moves by the European Commission proactively to publish information on the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA). For the first time the Commission has published the full text of the EU initial offer and the proposal papers put forward by the EU during the negotiations. You may find the FAQs on this site a useful initial source of information. The website address is as follows; <a href="http://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/in-focus/tisa" target="_blank">http://ec.europa.eu/trade/policy/in-focus/tisa</a>.</p><p>It is the Government’s view that publication of the TiSA mandate at this stage could hinder these important negotiations but we will keep this under review.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 26/11/2014 14:16:38 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
