 Thank you, Dan, and thank you to the IAEA and the Commission for asking me to come along and speak to you today And I'm going to set my remarks very very clearly from the perspective that TTIP is good for business and good for employment Tom mentioned many of the studies that have been done in this regard I believe on balance that we actually have more positive information coming from the projections However, I believe the real advantage of these trade negotiations is the opportunity to transform the perspective of Irish companies in approaching the American market And I'm going to talk a little bit more about that in just a moment Dublin Chamber has been in the business of helping companies export for many many years And I believe that these sort of trade negotiations really help companies to change their perspective and change their behaviors Delivering reductions in tariffs, delivering removal of tariffs, delivering simplicity in regulation Removing duplication of compliance procedures And all of that while respecting and acknowledging the standards that we have here in Europe and the standards in the United States has got to be a good thing We're already doing a lot of business, as David said, with the United States About half of our exports here from Ireland that don't go to European countries are going into the United States And we have this fantastic history of FDI Going in both directions, let's not forget that because Irish companies actually employ as many people in the United States As United States companies employ here in Ireland And embedded behind that we have this very strong diaspora of about 40 million Americans who claim Irish heritage So we have a very very strong relationship between Ireland and the United States And it might be fair to say that that relationship over the last number of decades has been driven at one level by government and large corporations And at another level, at the level of family and friends and student exchanges And I think the t-tip actually opens up the opportunity for us to bridge the gap between those two levels To bring in the plethora of small and medium-sized businesses into this relationship And to help them to look at the American market seriously To date it has been the large companies that have had the resources to work around the trade tariffs Small companies simply haven't had the deep pockets or the bandwidth of personnel to actually do this So t-tip can help to reduce the cost of doing business, change the behaviors and really bring a focus on the American market One of the mechanisms within t-tip that hasn't been mentioned so far here today is this concept of an SME chapter Which is this go to one stop shop of information on transatlantic trade And I think that is a really important part of the delivery mechanism for t-tip On the American side there are many different programs, the market access program and so on that help exporting companies Particularly exporting SMEs on the European side, we have things like the Enterprise Europe Network But we need to make sure despite our considerable experience on both sides that when we put in place a mechanism Focused on transatlantic trade as an outcome from t-tip that it really is effectively resourced and accessible by SMEs And we need to make sure that that is done right across the European Union and right across America 99% of all our companies in Europe could be described as SMEs and the same is true for the American market So I think those type of companies are at the very heart of this agreement and at the very heart of the job creation That I believe this agreement can actually make There is of course the issue of competition and that has been mentioned by David U.S. companies will look more seriously at the European market But I think for the Irish market that is less of a challenge We are well used, 30 years have been part of the European Union We are well used to competition from larger nations That has made us stronger and more determined and I think where the market is open We can actually do a lot more to develop our companies and develop their ambition and develop the expansion of markets for them The ISDM has been mentioned the investor state dispute mechanism I think as David said this is an important piece to have in the agreement I think the important piece from my perspective is to ensure that this is open to companies of all sizes and all sectors And that it's not seen as just something for the large corporations So overall TTIP I believe is good for business But it should be remembered as we move forward towards the closing of negotiations That the needs of the SMEs should be to the fore of the negotiations And I would say in closing I think it's also important We've had a lot of attention on this deal Let's get it done, let's get it done as quickly as possible I would take dispute with Tom over that I think it's really important that we start delivering for companies throughout Europe and companies in Ireland As soon as possible Let's keep the pressure on the negotiations, thank you
