In concrete terms, together with the US, we should work to promote multilateral cooperation for a more equitable and healthier world, fight against inequalities, cooperate better in research and technology development, and promote ecological transformation and the peaceful resolution of conflicts. We must reinforce both: the European Union’s autonomy of decision and its autonomy of action, from soft power to smart power. This means standing up for our interests whenever needed, but also taking greater responsibility. These events should remind us that the EU needs to catch up with the new reality and redefine our relationship with the US on a more equal footing. Moreover, we need to explore areas of convergence and seek to enhance cooperation, better coordination and consultation between the US and the European Union to avoid transatlantic tensions such as those that followed the adoption of the trilateral AUKUS deal or the uncoordinated withdrawal from Afghanistan. Also, with the European Union’s ability to act autonomously, when needed, in pursuing its legitimate interests. We should also praise positive developments like the Trade and Technology Council that took place last week.īut we must stress in parallel that the European Union’s strategic autonomy should be pursued, with improved implementation of European Union foreign and defence policy priorities and principles. The European Union and the US have the largest bilateral trade and investment relationship and enjoy the most integrated economic relationship in the world. It goes without saying that we should not lose the sentiment about the assistance from the United States to Europe’s development, prosperity and successful integration, nor all of the multilateral achievements.ĭuring the past 75 years, the transatlantic partnership has stood for freedom, democracy, human rights, the rule of law, trade, economic cooperation and security. And we should be proud of our lead to fight climate change. Our democratic, social and human rights standards are the most developed ones. We may be a newer Union, but we are also proud of our national histories and identities.
Take the long overdue lifting of the travel ban, for example.
It is a relationship based on the US primarily doing what fits their national agenda, and sometimes not fully taking into account all those things that matter to the European Union. It covers all manners of virtues and sins, doesn’t it? My impression is that this has become a more self-aware relationship, with a lot of space for cooperation, and diverging challenges that remain – in trade, data protection and attitudes towards China for example. Some of them have been well known for decades, but some are part of the newer dynamics of the world. I firmly believe, then as well as today, that we need a renewed and strengthened transatlantic partnership to tackle common challenges. Last November, President Biden’s election provided much relief and optimism in the European Union. – Mr President, this debate could not be timelier.
