Trade secrets: reporting on TTIP

Documents leaked by Greenpeace have shed light on closed door negotiations between the EU and the US over TTIP. We analyse the coverage, the secrecy surrounding the talks and the barriers to reporting on a story unfolding largely in secret.

Talking us through the story are: Daniel Rosario, EU Commission spokesman for trade and agriculture; Alberto Alemanno, professor of law, HEC Paris; Faiza Oulahsen, campaigner, Greenpeace; Hans von der Burchard, reporter, Politico; and, Melinda St Louis, International Campaigns Director, Public Citizen.
