Farming Today This Week: Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership - TTIP

Sybil Ruscoe hosts a debate about the controversial Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership - or TTIP. It's the biggest bilateral trade deal ever negotiated, and aims to lower trade tariffs and boost exports between the European Union and the United States.
Guests are MEPs Julie Girling (Conservative) and Molly Scott Cato (Green); President of the NFU Meurig Raymond; and Co-founder of 'Ladies in Beef' Jilly Greed.
Concerns about the deal include the US's use of growth hormones in their beef cattle; genetic modification; and the use of some chemicals to wash poultry meat - all currently banned in the EU.
There are fears some sectors - especially beef and poultry - would be hit hard if cheaper American imports are allowed in.
But there is also the opportunity for greater exports to the US - especially of specialty cheese and other dairy.
