Relațiile transatlantice

This page is also available in

UE, SUA și Canada împărtășesc valorile democrației, drepturilor omului, libertății economice și politice și au o politică externă și preocupări în materie de securitate similare. SUA și Canada se numără printre principalii parteneri comerciali ai UE și sunt, de asemenea, partenere la configurarea ordinii juridice internaționale. În prezent, relațiile transatlantice se desfășoară într-un mediu nou și se confruntă cu provocări tot mai mari. Considerăm că implicarea societății civile în această relație garantează că relațiile transatlantice pot răspunde așteptărilor publicului și contribuie în mod efectiv la conturarea unei cooperări reciproc avantajoase.

Acordul economic și comercial cuprinzător (CETA) UE-Canada și acordul de parteneriat strategic au fost semnate la 30 octombrie 2016. Vom urmări implicarea constantă a societății civile în punerea în aplicare a acestor acorduri. În prezent, negocierile privind Parteneriatul transatlantic pentru comerț și investiții (TTIP) stagnează. Totuși, negocierile privind TTIP au contribuit la consolidarea legăturilor dintre societatea civilă din UE și cea din SUA și la definirea opiniilor societății civile cu privire la modul în care ar trebui să se prezinte viitoarea relație comercială dintre UE și SUA. Aceste realizări nu ar trebui irosite. Comitetul de monitorizare a relațiilor transatlantice al CESE a fost înființat în septembrie 2014, având sarcina de a monitoriza legăturile transatlantice cu societatea civilă, organizând dialoguri și consultări periodice pe teme privind relațiile cu SUA și cu Canada.

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.

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.

Transatlantic trade relations and the EESC's views on an enhanced cooperation and eventual EU-US FTA

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.
