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.

    At its July plenary, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) argued that the new Trade and Technology Council (TTC) can become an innovative tool for both the EU and USA to work together towards a safer and more prosperous world, based on the principles of sustainable development and democratic values.

  • The EESC’s Transatlantic Relations Follow-up Committee met to discuss two current and timely topics with the aim of strengthening the EU-US partnership on a global scene, particularly important in the current challenging international context: the state of play of the transatlantic trade policy and the Year of Action between the two Summits for Democracy.

  • With China and Russia on the offensive, a renewed and reliable transatlantic partnership is the key to maintaining international and legal order and peace. The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) supports the idea of an Alliance of Democracies, ensuring that civil society has significant say in the joint defence of universal values and rights.

  • Through increased transatlantic dialogue, the Trade and Technology Council and the upcoming Summit for Democracy, the United States and the European Union have reached out to each other to jointly face global and internal challenges, and build a strong partnership on the basis of common democratic values.

  • 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.

  • The role of trade as a generator of growth and jobs is undeniable, but public perception of the further liberalisation of trade is getting worse and citizens' concerns must be addressed far more effectively than before. This was one of the conclusions of the conference on "Strengthening European Growth and Competitiveness: Proactive Trade Agenda – NOW!" that took place in Helsinki on 26 October.

This was one of the conclusions of the conference on "Strengthening European Growth and Competitiveness: Proactive Trade Agenda – NOW!" that took place in Helsinki on 26 October. Jacek Krawczyk, President of the EESC Employers' Group, added: It is our responsibility to advocate for trade; we cannot take it for granted that people understand what the benefits ...

  • With discussions for TTIP now at a critical point, the EESC has published a new opinion, ‘The position of the EESC on specific key issues of the TTIP negotiations’.
