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.

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.

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.

The External Relations Section (REX) of the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) is responsible for dialogue between European civil society organisations and their homologues from the countries with which the European Union has formal relations (e.g. under the form of a Free Trade Agreement). Through this dialogue, made possible by a series of bilateral bodies, and through specialized opinions and information reports, the Committee is able to concretely contribute to EU foreign policy.
