Position on EU-USA free trade negotiations

The motorcycle industry in Europe strongly supports further regulatory convergence, the simplification of administrative procedures and the gradual elimination of duties between the EU and the US. This would bring substantial benefits to companies and consumers on both sides of the Atlantic.

In 2012 the United States was the number one destination of EU powered-two and powered-three-wheeler (PTW) exports. The US market accounted for nearly 30% of all European PTW exports. The cumulative trade balance for 2008 – 2013 is positive for the EU and amounted to €157 million.
