Трансатлантически отношения

This page is also available in:

ЕС, САЩ и Канада споделят ценностите на демокрацията, правата на човека и икономическата и политическата свобода и имат припокриващи се опасения в областта на външната политика и сигурността. САЩ и Канада са сред основните търговски партньори на ЕС, а също и партньори във формирането на международния правен ред. Днес трансатлантическите отношения се реализират в нова среда и са изправени пред нарастващи предизвикателства. Считаме, че участието на гражданското общество в тези отношения дава гаранция, че трансатлантическите отношения са в състояние да отговорят на обществените очаквания и ефективно да допринесат за формирането на взаимноизгодно сътрудничество.

Всеобхватното икономическо и търговско споразумение (ВИТС) и Споразумението за стратегическо партньорство между ЕС и Канада бяха подписани на 30 октомври 2016 г. Ще положим усилия за постоянно участие на гражданското общество в прилагането на тези споразумения. Преговорите по Трансатлантическо партньорство за търговия и инвестиции (ТПТИ) между ЕС и САЩ понастоящем са в застой. Въпреки това преговорите по ТПТИ допринесоха за укрепване на връзките между гражданските общества на ЕС и САЩ и за определяне на вижданията им за това как следва да изглеждат бъдещите търговски отношения между ЕС и САЩ. Тези постижения не бива да бъдат изгубени. Нашият Комитет за наблюдение „Трансатлантически отношения“ беше създаден през септември 2014 г. с мандат да наблюдава трансатлантическите връзки с гражданското общество и да изгради редовен диалог и консултации по въпросите, свързани с отношенията със САЩ и Канада.

  • Transatlantic relations – too important to fail

    Transatlantic relations remain strong and important even though they have recently had a very bad press. Business, both in the EU and the US, has a role to play in overcoming current difficulties. Together, we can effectively promote a positive transatlantic agenda and help to fight stereotypes and misinformation. These are just some of the conclusions of the debate with Susan Danger, CEO of the American Chamber of Commerce to the EU. The debate took place during the Employers' Group meeting on 11 July 2018.
