Domènec Ruiz Devesa debates EU-US economic relations, for a strong Transatlantic Cooperation

I just wanted to bring something else to the debate. In 1939, on the eve of World War II, Clarence Streit published a book, Union Now. In this book, he proposed a federal union of the Atlantic democracies to face Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. In 1941, Churchill and Roosevelt signed the Atlantic Charter in Newfoundland. Then, in 1949, the NATO treaty. 1995, in Madrid, the new Transatlantic agenda was signed. So we have a big Atlantic acquis on which to build. And I think we have to go beyond just partnership. We have to move into a transatlantic community. We need a vision that can include a common transatlantic market. Also parliamentary and political cooperation instruments. I think we have to seize the moment now for that. Ahead of a crucial election year for the European Parliament and the United States (US), Parliament takes stock of EU-US relations for the second time in the outgoing legislative term. While Parliament's 2021 report elaborated on the priorities for the relaunch of transatlantic ties, the 2023 report sets out recommendations for deepening cooperation on a broad range of foreign, security and defence policy issues. It, inter alia, suggests creating a transatlantic political council and holding annual summits, and calls for a bigger role for parliamentary diplomacy. The EU and US are home to nearly 800 million people, have a strong stake in a peaceful and equitable world. We strive to uphold the UN Charter and a rules-based multilateral system, and to ensure global prosperity and stability. We work together to promote common values, which include peace, freedom, democracy and the rule of law. The summit represents an opportunity to consolidate and project our leadership in responding to pressing global challenges, which our global partners expect us to jointly address. The close cooperation and strategic relations between the European Union and its Member States and the United States are built on common history and a shared set of democratic values. These are key to both partners’ security and prosperity. The EU and the US closely cooperate in a number of foreign policy areas and geographical contexts, such as security, energy and technology cooperation, Russia, Ukraine, the Western Balkans, counter-terrorism and the Middle East peace process. Joe Biden’s inauguration as President of the US on 20 January 2021 brought impetus to the EU-US relationship, which had deteriorated during President Trump’s term. An ambitious EU-US agenda for global change, identifying areas of cooperation, was published in December 2020 by the Commission and the Vice-President of the Commission / High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (VP/HR). This momentum continued with the EU-US security and defence dialogue and the new EU-US Trade and Technology Council (TTC) launched at the EU-US summit on 15 June 2021. More recently, on 10 March 2023, US President Joe Biden and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen signed a joint statement addressing the joint efforts to end the Russian war against Ukraine and cooperation on building the clean economies of the future. The EU, the US and Canada share the values of democracy, human rights, the rule of law, and economic and political freedom, and have common foreign policy and security concerns. Close cooperation and strategic relations with the US and Canada remain a priority for the EU. EU-US economic relations The EU and the US are the world’s major global traders and investors. The EU is the largest economy in the world, representing 24% of global GDP and 17% of trade. The US is the second-largest economy, with 23% of global GDP and 11% of trade. Stay connected with us!
