ugotavlja, da bi lahko tako Združene države Amerike kot EU ob upoštevanju vse večje svetovne in regionalne vloge Kitajske, Indije in drugih azijskih držav v vzponu postopoma preusmerile glavno pozornost na tihomorsko regijo in vanjo vlagale več političnega napora in sredstev, severnoatlantsko povezave in medsebojno sodelovanje pa začele dojemati kot strateško manj pomembne; poleg tega ugotavlja, da bi morale EU in države članice na zunanjepolitičnem področju več pozornosti posvečati Aziji; poziva k večjemu usklajevanju politik Združenih držav in EU do Kitajske, Indije in drugih držav v vzponu v Aziji, da se prepreči razhajanje v teh politikah; je trdno prepričan, da bodo Združene države in EU le z usklajenimi prizadevanji dosegle potrebne politične sinergije za pozitiven, učinkovit in konstruktiven dialog z državami BRICS in drugimi državami v vzponu; meni, da bi bila redna vrhovna srečanja med EU in ZDA poleg srečanj skupine G-7 priložnost za opredelitev skupnih ciljev in usklajevanje strategij glede vprašanj svetovnega pomena, vključno z gospodarskim upravljanjem, da se doseže skupen pristop do držav v vzponu; opominja, da imajo čezatlantski odnosi izjemen gospodarski in politični pomen, in opozarja na vzajemno trdne gospodarske odnose med ZDA in EU; meni, da lahko čezatlantski ekonomski svet in čezatlantski dialog zakonodajalcev predstavljata priložnost za dialog in ugotavljanje rezultatov in bi morala zato vključevati premislek o strateškem sodelovanju EU in ZDA z državami BRICS in drugimi pomembnimi državami v vzponu ter o tem, kako doseči zbliževanje pravnih ureditev s temi državami; opominja, da bi bilo treba ustanoviti čezatlantski politični svet, priložnostni organ za sistematično posvetovanje in usklajevanje na visoki ravni na področju zunanje in varnostne politike med EU in ZDA;
Notes that, given the increasing global and regional relevance of China, India and other emerging countries in Asia, both the United States of America and the EU may progressively shift their primary attention, political investment and resources to the Pacific and perceive the North Atlantic dimension and mutual cooperation as less strategic; further notes that Asia should play a more important role on the foreign agenda of the European Union and EU Member States; calls for more coordination of the US and EU policies towards China, India and other emerging countries in Asia in order to avoid a decoupling of such policies; strongly believes that by coordinating their efforts the USA and the EU will attain the required political synergies to engage in an effective positive and constructive dialogue with the BRICS and other emerging countries; takes the view that, without prejudice to the G-7, regular EU-US summits would provide the opportunity to identify common objectives and coordinate strategies on matters of global relevance, including economic governance, in order to reach a common approach towards the emerging powers; recalls that transatlantic relations are of utmost importance both economically and politically and stresses the mutual strong economic relationship between the United States of America and the EU; considers that the Transatlantic Economic Council and the Transatlantic Legislators' Dialogue could also offer an opportunity for dialogue and stock-taking and should thus include a reflection on strategic engagement by the EU and the US of the BRICS and other relevant emerging countries and on how to foster regulatory convergence with such countries; recalls the need to set up a Transatlantic Political Council as an ad-hoc body for systematic, high-level consultation and coordination on foreign and security policy between the EU and the US;
