lpv:translated text	". Mr President, I believe that this debate on transatlantic relations should leave aside all of its ideological waffle and focus, as the representative of the Presidency-in-Office has quite rightly said, on trying to replace the discord of the past with the harmony of the present. The European Union and the United States have a shared history, common values and the same passion for freedom, and this is because the transatlantic link is written into the genetic code of the European Union. It is clear – as both the Commission and the Council have pointed out – that we have differences separating us, such as the International Criminal Court, the Kyoto Protocol, extraterritorial laws and trade policy, which the Commissioner referred to a moment ago. But I believe that we must place much more emphasis on what unites us rather than what separates us. It is clear that the objectives we as the European Union pursue – as the President-in-Office of the Council said – with regard to peace, stability, the fight against terrorism, weapons of mass destruction etc. can be achieved much better in cooperation with the United States rather than by speaking out against them – as Commissioner Patten said in one of his recent speeches – just as the United States will be better able to achieve their objectives in cooperation with the European Union rather than in opposition to it. The United States are an admirable people; they represent 3% of the world’s population and are able to produce 30% of its goods and services, and they have been able to create a political, economic and military superpower that is unprecedented since the Roman Empire. I believe that the forthcoming visit by President Bush offers a wonderful opportunity to restore that strategic alliance, that harmonious partnership between the European Union and the United States, and to ensure that the values we both advocate – including human rights and fundamental freedoms – can be taken on in all regions of the world, be consolidated and be truly effective."@en1
