Gillian Marles explores the implications of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership and hears opinions on whether it will be good or bad for Scotland.

On Business Scotland this week, Gillian Marles finds out about The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership or TTIP. Talks are ongoing between Europe and the United States to create a new trade deal between the two. But the negotiations are mired in controversy with some critics fearing a deal will drive down standards in EU food and pharmaceutical industries. However, proponents say it will create a new free trading platform which will cut costs and give the smallest Scottish companies access to the world's biggest economy.
