Transatlantiniai santykiai

This page is also available in:

ES, JAV ir Kanada puoselėja bendras demokratines vertybes, žmogaus teises, ekonominę ir politinę laisvę ir turi tų pačių užsienio politikos ir saugumo problemų. JAV ir Kanada yra vienos iš pagrindinių ES prekybos partnerių, taip pat yra partnerės formuojant tarptautinę teisinę tvarką. Transatlantiniai santykiai šiuo metu plėtojami naujoje aplinkoje ir susiduria su vis didesniais iššūkiais. Manome, kad pilietinės visuomenės dalyvavimas šiuose santykiuose suteikia garantiją, kad transatlantiniai santykiai galėtų patenkinti piliečių lūkesčius ir veiksmingai prisidėti prie abipusiai naudingo bendradarbiavimo.

ES ir Kanados išsamus ekonomikos ir prekybos susitarimas (IEPS) ir Strateginės partnerystės susitarimas buvo pasirašyti 2016 m. spalio 30 d. Mes ieškosime būdų, kaip užtikrinti nuolatinį pilietinės visuomenės dalyvavimą įgyvendinant šiuos susitarimus. Derybos dėl ES ir JAV transatlantinės prekybos ir investicijų partnerystės (TPIP) šiuo metu yra įstrigusios. Tačiau TPIP derybos padėjo stiprinti ES ir JAV pilietinės visuomenės ryšius ir suformuoti pilietinės visuomenės nuomonę, kaip turėtų ateityje atrodyti ES ir JAV prekybos santykiai. Šie pasiekimai neturėtų būti prarasti. Mūsų Transatlantinių santykių tęstinio darbo komitetas buvo įsteigtas 2014 m. rugsėjį ir įgaliotas stebėti transatlantinius ryšius su pilietine visuomene, taip pat užmegzti reguliarų dialogą bei konsultacijas dėl klausimų, susijusių su santykiais su JAV ir Kanada.
