Even if you are pro-trade the economics don't make sense. The health cost for dropping EU legislation to ban 31 specific pesticides would be projected to cost more than all the gains TTIP would provide (€160 vs €140 over 12y):
Not a fan of TTIP but Ars got that wrong. The estimated costs are mostly from "endocrine disruptors found in food containers, plastics, furniture, toys, carpeting and cosmetics"
