BRUSSELS, July 27 (Xinhua) -- A senior European lawmaker has sharply criticized a draft trade agreement between the European Union (EU) and the United States, warning that it could undermine the bloc's economic stability and job security.
Bernd Lange, chair of the European Parliament's Committee on International Trade, described the proposed framework, which includes a 15-percent tariff on all EU exports to the United States, as "unsatisfactory" and "significantly imbalanced."
