About 60 people from the UK travelled to Brussels on Wednesday to take part in protests against the proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) between the United States and the European Union. Protesters argue that the deal would be a "Trojan-horse treaty", restricting the rights of individual countries to legislate against articles such as foodstuffs if that was seen to block free trade. Negotiators are currently looking at details of the proposed deal.
