In the ensuing uproar Francois Hollande, the president of France, suggested that TTIP talks should be delayed until questions about the spying allegations were answered. Together America and the EU account for around $30 trillion in annual output, almost half the world total. Freer exchange between them could boost global GDP by 0.6% a year, or more if knock-on effects on productivity are included. The impact would be bigger still if a TTIP deal spurred multilateral efforts to cut trade barriers. A comprehensive agreement that includes non-tariff barriers (NTBs) would be especially enticing. Post-war trade liberalisation has mostly meant slashing tariff rates. Duties between America and Europe are low already. More cuts wouldn't hurt, but NTBs are the biggest hurdles to trade.
