As negotiations between the EU and US over the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership move toward agreement, opponents of the proposed pact are becoming more vocal. And yet the TTIP could turn out to be the most important bulwark of transatlantic unity since the creation of NATO.

Criticism of any major economic-policy change is only natural, but failing to reach agreement on this accord would be a historic mistake – one that Europe will soon regret. Indeed, the TTIP could turn out to be the most important bulwark of transatlantic unity since the North Atlantic Treaty established NATO in 1949.
