Summary/Abstract: A crucial factor of ever-growing regionalization of the world trade is the lasting negotiation impasseat multilateral level. Finding common ground among all WTO members has proven to bea task beyond their capabilities, consequently, some countries focused their efforts on concluding Regional Trade Agreements (RTAs), which are of a smaller or larger regional range and importanceto the global economy. The last group includes the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership(TTIP). This partnership will surely affect not only the world trade fl ows but also the progress ofnegotiations in the ongoing Doha Development Round and in consequence the further functioningof the WTO.
