Det er et faktum, at den nye virkelighed, der følger af den økonomiske og politiske globalisering, nødvendiggør nye samarbejdsformer, multilaterale aftaler og snævrere økonomiske, sociale og kulturelle bånd mellem folkene.
But we really have to ask ourselves if any country or or ganization has any chance of influencing Congress' for eign and foreign trade policy, if even their own US President has the greatest difficulty in getting his views heard and implemented.
Ud fra et sådant synspunkt er der ingen, der vil modsætte sig, at der bygges bro over Atlanten, når det sker på baggrund af en fælles opfattelse af bæredygtig udvikling og social samhørighed, for at fremme fred og demokrati og lighed mellem kønnene, for at opretholde velfærden og sikre freden i verden, for at udvikle videnskaben og teknologien og for at beskytte livet og miljøet.
Experts on the US would say that Eu ropeans' greatest mistake in the past was to be too re spectful and too quick to compromise in various dealings. I believe that we should realize that with 370 million con sumers and with the interests that the US has in Europe we can take a firmer line than in the past and say quite brutally what our interests are, and not be too hasty to compromise, which gets us nowhere fast.
Alle, der beklager sig over USA, skal være klar over, at handelen mellem Den Europæiske Union og USA årligt overstiger USD 250 milliarder.
Anyone who complains about the US should be fully aware that annual trade between the European Union and the US is over $250 million.
Prøv engang at omregne det til arbejdspladser!
Just try converting that into jobs!
Vi er de største investorer på de for skellige markeder, og Den Europæiske Union og USA har hver for sig draget størst fordel af den liberale verdensorden.
We are the most important investors in each other's markets, and the European Union and the US have de rived the greatest benefit from the liberal world order.
På den anden side bliver det ikke på noget område in den for politik så tydeligt som i forholdet mellem Den Europæiske Union og USA, at en fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik er af meget stor betydning for Den Euro pæiske Union.
On the other hand, it is clearer with EU-US relations than in any other area of policy that a Common Foreign and Se curity Policy for the European Union is of momentous importance.
Selv med al anerkendelse af Kommissionens bestræbelser, om fra Deres side, hr. Bangemann, Sir Leon Brittan eller fra andres samt fra Europaparlamentets side, er de europæiske forsamlingers genklang i USA's udenrigspolitik kun af relativ betydning.
With all due respect to the efforts made by the European Parliament and by the Commission, be it by you, Mr Bangemann, by Sir Leon Brittan or by many others, the importance of European institutions in the foreign policy of the US is only secondary.
Jeg tænker her på de eksterritoriale Helms-Burton- og d'Amato-Kennedy-love, som har fundet deres største anvendelse i blokaden mod Cuba, og det på trods af protester fra hele verden og FN's Generalforsamlings fordømmelse af USA.
Daskalaki (UPE). - (EL) Mr President, George Washington bequeathed to his countrymen the principle of not allowing anyone to become involved in their internal affairs, and not becoming involved in the affairs of the rest of the world.
Den amerikanske Kongres føler sig imidlertid ikke berørt af protesterne, men styrkede tværtimod den 11 Januar 1997 dette besynderlige lovgivningsinitiativ med otte ændringer, der godkendtes af Kongres sens plenarmøde.
This was the famous doctrine of American isolationism from which the Americans emerged for the first time during the First World War, and which they completely abolished with the Second, which resulted in the United States, following the fall of the walls, becoming a worldwide and ubiquitous superpower.
Oven i alt dette forsøger USA at undgå en forkastelse af landets handelspolitik fra WTO's internationale mekanisme for bilæggelse af tvister.
As long as individual EU Member States are competing with each other in the US, and as long as the US has the impression that on matters of substance it is hard for Eu ropean politicians to speak with one voice on current for eign and security policy, it will be difficult for American politicians to recognize our political will.
Disse skridt viser ganske karakteristisk den amerikanske tænkemåde, som går igen i alle dets internationale forbindelser, selv med dets naboer i Central- og Latinamerika.
Conversely, we have had ample opportunity in recent months to witness the smugness and even arrogance with which the US Con gress in particular approaches important decisions on for eign trade policy, without caring ajot about what the rest of the world thinks.
Det er tydeligt, at USA
Helms-Burton-d'Amato is just one example.
Om vendt har vi i de sidste måneder til overmål erfaret, med hvilken selvtilstrækkelighed grænsende til arrogance navnlig USA's Kongres træffer afgørelser af betydning for udenrigsøkonomien uden at bekymre sig spor om, hvad resten af verden mener derom.
And not only in regions such as Yugoslavia or the Middle East. The lack of a common foreign policy and the lack of po litical security in the Union is, to a large extent, at fault, but it can also be blamed on our inability to establish par-
Vi har ofte talt om den uligevægt, der er i det europæisk amerikanske forhold. Det er rigtigt, at USA træffer be slutninger, og at Europa betaler kæmpestore regninger på denne konto. Og det sker ikke kun i områder som Jugoslavien eller Mellemøsten.
These weaknesses are all underlined in Mr Souchet's re port, which stresses the need for strengthened and equalranking cooperation, as well as the need for there to be a European identity on security and defence.
Man skal i den forbindelse lægge mærke til, at det ikke er europæerne, der er chokerede over denne form for politik.
The United States have made the World Trade Organization an instrument of the defence of the interests of their companies.
USA lægger sig også ud med Canada, Mexico, Sydamerika og andre uden at støde på afgørende modstand.
In the audiovisual field, the deficit in the Eu ropean Union is continuing to worsen, and the United States are increasing their pressure.
Siden kom munismens sammenbrud er USA's egenmægtige handlinger blevet flere, navnlig fordi landet i lang tid fremover vil være den eneste endnu eksisterende verdensmagt og også på forhånd påtager sig at løse problemer, fordi det forventes som noget selvfølgeligt, at de er i stand til det.
That is why our group is in sistently demanding, on the one hand, that a true public debate be organized about these AMI negotiations, and that, on the other hand, the fields of audiovisual and in tellectual property should be excluded from any possible agreement.
Alle disse svagheder omtales i Souchet-betænkningen, som lægger vægt på et styrket og ligevægtigt samarbejde og en europæisk sikkerheds- og forsvarsmæssig identitet.
The crucial point to which the European Commission is now called upon to address itself is the demand to wipe out this imbalance at all levels of EU-US cooperation, as far as possible of course.
Europas forpligtelse til at udtrykke sin modstand mod den ensidige måde, hvorpå de nye medlemmer af NATO ud vælges, mod USA's modvilje mod at underskrive Ottawa-erklæringen om landminer, mod den amerikanske Kongres' underminering af FN, mod love som Helms-' Burton- og d'Amato-Kennedy-lovene og mod USA's modvilje mod at træffe afgørelser til beskyttelse af mil jøet er alt sammen fremdraget på glimrende vis.
And, if it is unavoidable, at least at this historic conjuncture and until further orders, that the United States must take precedence worldwide - and we do not know what will happen as the next century approaches - at least Europe must at this moment in time be able to have the decisive word in matters concerning its own affairs and play a greater role at a global level.
Vi bliver end videre nødt til i fællesskab at slå fast, at det for fremtiden er nødvendigt, at vi taler med én stemme, hvis politik af europæisk interesse skal gøres gældende i de talrige transatlantiske forsamlinger.
The guarantees and concessions that the Commission claims to have obtained prior to giving its approval to the merger appear to us to show that we have made a fool's bargain.
Næppe var Amsterdam der, så var man i udenrigsøkonomiske spørgsmål ikke længere i stand til at finde en løsning, som rækker ud over det øjeblikkelige, men er henvist til tolerance, og dén erfaring, nåja!
Contrary to the commitments given, Delta Airlines is already announcing that it will not give up its exclusive contract with Boeing.
Det vigtige omdrejningspunkt for Kommissionens kom mende indsats må nu være kravet om, i det omfang det overhovedet er muligt, at udrydde den tilbageværende ulighed på alle niveauer af det europæiskamerikanske samarbejde.
Väyrynen (ELDR). - (Fl) Mr President, Mr Suchet's re port is in many respects a creditable one, and I agree with much of its content. The report is, however, less than per fect in that it dwells on the problems we experience in our relations with the US.
Og lad så bare USA i det mindste i denne historiske periode og indtil videre - for hvem ved, hvad det kommende århundrede bringer - være den fremadstræbende magt, men Europa bør i det mindste have et afgørende ord at skulle have sagt i sager, der vedrører dets egen husholdning, og det bør spille en større rolle på ver densplan.
For this reason I have drafted, on behalf of the Liberal group, certain motions for amend ments, which contain positive and constructive attitudes towards the development of cooperation between the Eu ropean Union and the US.
Principielt bliver vi ganske vist nødt til at spørge os selv om, hvem der endnu er stor nok til at øve indflydelse på den amerikanske Kongres i udenrigspolitiske og udenrigsøkonomiske spørgsmål, når selv USA's egen præsident har store vanskeligheder med at vinde for ståelse dér og få sin vilje igennem.
From this point of view, I am delighted that the report from Mr Souchet, which proposes a rebalancing of relations with the United States, has come down in favour of a legal ar rangement for the purpose of better defending European interests.
Den største fejl i tidligere tid, som kendere i USA bebrejder europæerne, er en for ærbødig holdning og en for stor vilje til overilede kompromiser i forskellige sammenhænge.
I also believe that the European Union should take appropriate initiatives from the democratization of international bodies, such as giving a greater role to the General Assembly of the United Nations, and the revision of the WTO mechanisms.
Jeg mener, vi i fællesskab skal lære, at vi med 370 millioner forbrugere og med de interesser, USA har i Europa, mere end tidligere ligepå og hårdt skal sige, hvor vores interesser ligger, og ikke for hurtigt uddebattere kompromiser.
This is a necessity, in my view, in order for social, cultural, health and environmental questions to be taken into account.
Det bringer os ikke hurtigere frem.
On another note, I would like to mention such cooperation in the Nordic regions.
Väyrynen (ELDR). - (FI) Hr. formand, betænkningen af vores kollega Souchet er på mange måder prisværdig, og de fleste af dens detaljer kan jeg gå ind for.
Nicholson (I-EDN). - Mr President, I would first of all like to congratulate the rapporteur on his report.
Betænknin gen er dog mangelfuld på den måde, at den i alt for høj grad fokuserer på de problemer, som vi har i forhold til USA.
It has been well thought through, with full regard to the many issues that affect European Union and United States relations.
Det er derfor, jeg på den liberale gruppes vegne har udarbejdet et ændringsforslag, som indeholder positive og konstruktive standpunkter med henblik på udviklingen af samarbejdet mellem Den Europæiske Union og USA.
The collapse of communism in eastern Europe was welcomed by democrats everywhere, not least in western Europe. We realized that unless international relations were adapted to take account of the situation, it would pose great problems for world stability.
En ting står fast: USA og Europa er afhængige af hinanden.
The report before us cannot, however, be improved upon in any fruitful way.
Den tredje verden, Asien, Afrika har brug for vores fælles holdning, for at vi ikke bliver spillet ud mod hinanden eller håndterer ansvaret for det, der sker dér, forskel ligt.
That is why I would, finally, like to express the hope that in future reports we endeavour to get to grips with relations between the US and the EU.
Som et eksempel fremdrager jeg samarbejdet i de nord lige regioner. USA og tre medlemslande i Den Europæi ske Union har deltaget i dannelsen af et arktisk råd, og i henhold til beslutningen under topmødet i Luxembourg er man i gang med at skabe en nordisk dimension i Den Europæiske Unions politik.
Ainardi (GUE/NGL). - (FR) Mr President, if there is to be a developing partnership between the United States and the European Union, we have to jecognize that in many fields, the Union has acted with angelic sweetness with regard to what must be more properly named the American determination to achieve hegemony.
Den aktuelle betænkning er dog ikke til at udbedre på en afgørende måde.
As an example, I shall deal with problems involving three sectors.
Den Europæiske Union og USA bør sammen på tage sig et centralt ansvar for menneskehedens fremtid.
In the agricultural field, US commercial aggressiveness has not abated one whit, in order to both sell on
Det er den amerikanske isolationismes berømte dogme, som amerikanerne for første gang afveg fra under første verdenskrig, definitivt opgav under anden verdenskrig og nu har forladt i en sådan grad, at USA efter kommunismens fald er blevet den allestedsnærværende supermagt.
We should recognize that the goodwill of na tional governments in the European Union and that of the American administration has ensured that developments have been generally positive.
Ainardi (GUE/NGL). - (FR) Hr. formand, hvis der skal opstå et partnerskab mellem USA og Den Europæiske Union, så må man konstatere, at Unionen på talrige områ-
However, in Europe there remains a perception that the United States continues to dominate the relationship of what should actually be a partnership of equals. Too often it appears that the US
Alt for ofte vælger USA at sætte egne interes ser over de gode forhold med Den Europæiske Union.
Nicholson prefers to put self-interest before good relations with the European Union.
Det ses bedst i den internationale handel, hvor beslutsomheden hos andre medlemsstater i Den Europæiske Union om at bidrage til et rimeligt internationalt handelsmiljø står i kontrast til den amerikanske politik.
This is most obvious in terms of inter national trade, where we contrast US policy with the de termination of other Member States in the European Un ion to contribute to a fair international trading environment. ment.
Det har to nylige sager bevist, nemlig bananerne og hormonkødet.
Some of today's de bate has smacked, quite frankly, of EU-US imperialism.
USA har gjort Verdenshandelsorganisationen til et redskab, der skal forsvare deres virksomheders interesser. resser.
We should be operating in a security situation which is multinational and international, and not simply bilateral.
USA kan bestemt gøre mere for at opbygge rimelige han delsbetingelser.
The US can certainly do more to build fair trading conditions.
Jeg håber, at vi kan samarbejde med USA om at nå dette mål.
I would hope that we, along with them, can work in conjunction to achieve that.
På det audiovisuelle område bliver Unionens underskud hele tiden værre, og USA øger deres pres.
Bosnia, more than anything else, showed where things can go wrong, unless we get this relationship right.
Det er i øjeblik ket tilfældet med forhandlingerne om den multilaterale investeringsaftale inden for rammerne af OECD.
It also showed that once we get the relationship right we can ac tually make considerable progress.
Disse forhandlinger medfører alvorlige trusler mod kulturen i almindelighed og det audiovisuelle område i særdeleshed.
But for that to happen, Europe has got to stop spending so much time developing strong rhetoric and a little bit more time acting in the for eign affairs field.
Vores gruppe anmoder derfor indtrængende om, at der dels bliver afholdt en sand offentlig debat omkring for handlingerne om disse aftaler, og dels, at det audiovisuelle område og det ophavsretslige område bliver holdt uden for en eventuel aftale.
Brok (PPE). - (DE) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, like many previous speakers I would like to say that trans atlantic relations now have to be seen in a new light. This is generally recognized, but the corresponding conclusions have not always been drawn.
Sichrovsky (NI). - (DE) Hr. formand, som vel det eneste medlem af Europa-Parlamentet med bopæl både i USA og i Europa vil jeg gerne advare mod den kliché og den arrogance, at amerikanerne ikke har nogen forstand på Europa.
Sichrovsky (NI). - (DE) Mr President, as probably the only Member of the European Parliament with dual residence in the US and in Europe, I would like to sound a note of warning about clichés and the arrogant assumption that Americans understand nothing about Europe.
Sådan var det måske engang, men det er bestemt ikke tilfældet længere.
That may once have been true, but it is certainly no longer the case today.
Grundlaget for forbedringen af samarbejdet mellem EU og USA er den fælles interesse på områderne økonomisk politik og sikkerhed.
The basis for improved cooperation be tween the EU and the US is our common interest in eco nomic policy and security.
Det betyder fair konkurrence på lige vilkår på verdensmarkedet og et særligt ansvar, hvad angår monetær stabilitet mellem dollaren og den kommende euro.
That means fair competition in the world market on a level playing field, and it implies special responsibility for exchange rate stability between the dollar and the planned euro.
En dårlig forberedt indførelse af Den Økonomiske og Monetære Union ville medføre, at dollaren yderligere ud bygger sin for øjeblikket dominerende stilling.
Poorly planned introduction of European monetary union would result in the dollar extending its present dominant position still further.
Europæer nes mindreværdsfølelse over for USA, som her igen og igen skinner igennem i de forskellige indlæg, kan ikke tales bort, men kun overvindes gennem en virkelig økonomisk styrke og en entydig sikkerhedspolitik.
The inferiority complex that Europe ans feel towards the US, which has repeatedly come through in the various speeches here, cannot be talked away: we can only overcome it by real economic strength and an unambiguous security policy.
I forbindelse med sammenknytningen af problemer med menneskeret tighederne og de økonomiske forbindelser med de enkelte lande er kritik efter min mening ikke på sin plads, men vi europæere bør tilslutte os USA.
As regards linking economic relations with individual countries to their human rights record, we Europeans should not be criticizing this, we should instead join forces with the US.
Jeg vil drage en generel konklusion af denne korte gen nemgang.
In this century, transatlantic relations have been notable for the United States of America playing a decisive role in preserving order in Europe.
Den Europæiske Union skal udvise mere fast hed.
The question is how the Americans will continue to use their power in Europe and how we can use our own power to become a partner of the US on equal terms.
Jeg mener ligeledes, at Den Europæiske Union bør tage nogle passende initiativer med henblik på at de mokratisere de internationale instanser, give FN's Gene ralforsamling en mere betydningsfuld rolle og revidere mekanismerne i WTO.
Things are not as simple as in the past, when the fear of danger in the minds of our two peoples welded together the nations on either side of the Atlantic.
Det forekommer mig at være nød vendigt, for at man kan tage højde for de sociale, kulturelle, sundhedsmæssige og miljømæssige spørgsmål.
This awareness of danger has dramatically declined since 1990, and there is accord ingly now a danger that minor trade policy disputes will escalate to such an emotional level that they could widen the gap between Europe and America.
Nicholson (I-EDN). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil starte med at ønske ordføreren tillykke med betænkningen.
For this reason we need to link the great community of values based on the rule.of law and on democracy with a renewed community of interests not limited solely to se curity matters.
Det er et gennemtænkt stykke arbejde med fuld hensyntagen til de mange emner, der påvirker forbindelserne mellem EU og USA. Kommunismens sammenbrud i Østeuropa blev hilst velkommen af demokrater overalt, ikke mindst i Vesteuropa.
That is why I believe that the Transatlantic Agenda, the efforts of the Commission and the American administration and the initiatives that you, Commissioner Bangemann, have kicked off in recent years in the field of commerce and industry, in order to achieve progress to wards a Transatlantic Market Place, are all important signs that differences of interest need not lead to a widen ing of the gap.
Vi indså, at hvis ikke de internationale for bindelser blev justeret efter den nye situation, så ville det give store problemer for verdensstabiliteten.
On the contrary, they demonstrate that in a world based on multilateral trade we see each other as partners on equal terms engaged in fair competition, not as opponents.
Titley (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, George Bernard Shaw sagde engang, at England og USA er to lande, der er delt af et fælles sprog.
Titley (PSE). - Mr President, George Bernard Shaw once remarked that England and America are two countries di vided by a common language.
Jeg er stadig mere tilbøjelig til at mene, at EU og USA er to politiske enheder, der er delt af et fæl les politisk og økonomisk system.
I increasingly believe that the EU and the US are two political entities divided by a common political and economic system.
Alt for ofte præges vores forhold af misforståelser og forvirring.
Far too often our relationship is characterized by misunderstandings and confusions.
Jeg giver Donner ret i, at det nok hyppigere skyldes USA end EU.
I agree with Mr Donner that this is perhaps more so from the American side than from the EU side.
Det så vi under udvidelsesforhandlingerne, hvor amerika nerne havde meget firkantede meninger om hastigheden og naturen af EU's udvidelse og specielt om Tyrkiets rolle.
We saw this during the enlargement debate where the American approach to the speed and nature of EU en largement, particularly to the role of Turkey in this, was, quite frankly, extremely simplistic.
Det forbavsede mig at høre erfarne amerikanske politikere, der gladeligt talte om, at Tyrkiet skulle være medlem af Den Europæiske Union, som om det var en ganske enkelt sag.
I was amazed to hear senior American politicians talk blithely about Turkey joining the European Union, as if it was a very simple matter.
Jeg tror, at Tyrkiet fuldstændigt over reagerede på konklusionerne på topmødet i Luxembourg, delvist fordi nogle amerikanske politikere havde fået dem til at tro på, at deekunne få mere ud af Den Europæiske Union.
I suspect that part of the reason for Turkey's total over-reaction to the conclusions of the Luxembourg Sum mit was that it has been encouraged by some American politicians, at least, to believe that it would get more out of the European Union.
Med afslutningen på den kolde krig måtte der ske ændringer i den fastsatte orden i forbindelserne mellem EU og
This is certainly true of the foreign affairs field where the old certainties of the Cold War are
Titley ske evner, men at der også er forståelse herfor i USA.
Brok vestments in the United States, and 44 % of American in vestments are made in the European Union.
Det er derfor, denne dialog er så vigtig.
On both sides of the Atlantic these investments are worth 3 million jobs.
Jeg kan tilslutte mig Erika Manns bemærkninger om at sørge for et effektivt parlamentarisk element i denne dialog, så vi kan præcisere over for hinanden, præcist hvor vi står.
It is a pity, therefore, that there is so little awareness amongst the European and American people of how crucial our cooperation is for their employment, and thus their prosperity.
