Speech of EP President Jerzy Buzek launching the Notre-Europe EU-US task force report “Reshaping EU-US Relations”
I
am particularly glad to be able to open today’s conference which
launches the report by Notre Europe on “Reshaping EU-US Relations”.
On
the American side of the Atlantic we have witnessed the historic
election of Barack Obama in 2008 and are approaching his mid-term. Here
in Europe, we have elected a new Commission, implemented a new treaty
which has strengthened the European Parliament, but also brought to life
a joint external action service and made the European Council a full
institution of the Union.
It is important that we take the time to reflect on where we wish the transatlantic relation to go in the future.
This
report is timely, and it proposes a doctrine which calls for a new
Euro-American partnership to meet the world’s most pressing
challenges…
