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.

    Recent years have been marked by a persistent global decline in democratic values and the rule of law. While many differences remain and have to be acknowledged, North America has unquestionably been our closest historical ally in championing democracy and its values across the world. The arrival of the new administration in the US has provided a new momentum and a unique opportunity to build the new transatlantic partnership and jointly manage not only the internal, but also global challenges, especially with regard to powers which do not share the same values, such as China or Russia. President Biden's initiative to organise a Summit for Democracy at a time when autocracies are on the offensive is only the first step in building a strong international democratic alliance.

    On 12 June 2014, the Commission presented a proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council codifying Council Regulation (EC) No 673/2005 of 25 April 2005 establishing additional customs duties on imports of certain products originating in the United States of America.

    The EESC has played an important role in strengthening an informed civil society debate on the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) through a number of TTIP-related opinions, adopted in 2014 and 2015, covering issues such as labour rights, investment protection, impact on SMEs, among others.

    It is important under the present circumstances that the EESC, in order to maintain its position as a key civil society player in the TTIP debate, react to the textual proposals for TTIP negotiations on essential topics such as the sustainable development chapter, regulatory cooperation, investment and services. This will have the advantage not only of setting up the EESC position on major negotiating chapters but also of presenting concrete recommendations and pointing out the need to involve civil society in the implementation of those chapters.

    The own-initiative opinion will focus on the impact of the TTIP on SMEs and reflect on the provisions that would need to be included in the TTIP in order to take account of the specific character of SMEs in the negotiations and implementation of an eventual EU-US agreement. The opinion will also look at how to increase the awareness of SMEs as to existing support services and programmes, and particularly about the new business opportunities that may arise with this agreement.

    Since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty, the investment policy is an exclusive competence of the European Union. The EU is aiming to include therefore in the new trade and investment agreements provisions on investor protection and investor to state dispute settlement (ISDS) which will replace existing Bilateral Investment Agreements (BIT) signed by Member States and will grant the same level of protection to all EU investors.
