Relaciones transatlánticas

La UE, los EE. UU. y Canadá comparten los valores de la democracia, los derechos humanos, la libertad económica y política y se ocupan de cuestiones comunes en materia de política exterior y seguridad. Los EE. UU. y Canadá constituyen dos de los principales socios comerciales de la UE, y son también socios en la conformación del ordenamiento jurídico internacional. Las relaciones transatlánticas actuales tienen lugar en un nuevo entorno y se enfrentan a retos cada vez mayores. Consideramos que la participación de la sociedad civil en esta relación proporciona una garantía de que las relaciones transatlánticas son capaces de responder a las expectativas públicas y contribuir eficazmente a la conformación de una cooperación mutuamente beneficiosa.

El Acuerdo Económico y Comercial Global entre la UE y Canadá (AECG) y el Acuerdo de Asociación Estratégica fueron firmados el 30 de octubre de 2016. Buscaremos una participación constante de la sociedad civil en la aplicación de estos acuerdos. En estos momentos, las negociaciones sobre una Asociación Transatlántica de Comercio e Inversión (ATCI) entre la UE y los EE. UU. están paralizadas. No obstante, las negociaciones sobre la ATCI contribuyeron al fortalecimiento de los vínculos entre la sociedad civil de la UE y los EE. UU. y a la definición de los puntos de vista de la sociedad civil sobre cómo debe ser la futura relación comercial entre la UE y los EE. UU. No deberían perderse estos logros. Nuestro Comité de Seguimiento de las Relaciones Transatlánticas fue creado en septiembre de 2014 con el mandato de supervisar los vínculos transatlánticos con la sociedad civil,

    The meeting of the European Economic and Social Committee's (EESC) External Relations Section on Transatlantic relations will take place on 17 November 2021 from 10h30- 17h00. It will be presided and moderated by the President of the External Relations Section, Mr. Dimitris Dimitriadis.

  • In the light of the ongoing EU-US Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is drafting an own-initiative opinion on "The position of the EESC on specific key issues of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations". In this framework, the EESC is organising a public hearing, to be held at the Committee premises on 30 June 2016, beginning at 9 a.m.

    The main purpose of this event will be to exchange views with representatives from the European Union institutions involved in the TTIP negotiations, as well as from civil society organisations and consultancy firms, in order to gather relevant information and deepen understanding of the matter. The four sessions will focus on the following topics: 1) Regulatory cooperation, good regulatory practices, technical barriers to trade; 2) Services; 3) Investment protection and the Investment Court System (ICS); 4) Trade and sustainable development.

  • The EESC Employers' Group is organising a seminar on "Strengthening European Growth and Competitiveness: Proactive Trade Agenda – NOW!" taking place on 26 October in Helsinki and jointly organized with the Confederation of Finnish Industries and the International Chamber of Commerce, ICC Finland.

    Trade and Investment are hugely important for the EU: 1 in 7 EU jobs depend on exports. The EU cannot risk falling behind in the global race to build a wide and ambitious network of free trade agreements. The signing of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement (involving 12 countries and 40% of world GDP) is a timely reminder of this. This seminar, which will be attended by many of our Members together with Finnish employers and entrepreneurs, politicians and academics aims to examine how to best contribute positively to the debate as trade agreements (TTIP - TISA - CETA - EU-JAPAN) increasingly become a top political issue.
