Transatlantic Free Trade Area
- This article is about the general concept of free trade in the Transatlantic region. For the current negotiations between the European Union and the United States see Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership.
A Transatlantic Free Trade Area (TAFTA) is a proposal to create a trans-atlantic free-trade area covering Europe and North America. Such proposals have been made since the 1990s and since 2013 an agreement between the United States and the European Union has been under negotiation: the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership. Once complete, if combined with free trade agreements with Canada, Mexico and the European Free Trade Association, it could form a free trade area covering a large portion of the two continents.
