lpv:translated text	"Mr President, today we are debating one of the EU’s most important partners, and the challenge our relationship with that partner poses to us. In this Chamber we often hear strong words of criticism and condemnation of the USA and, much more rarely, appeals to refrain from making any judgments of our largest ally. We should reject both extremes. Europe needs the United States, and the United States needs Europe. I say this against a background of rapid growth in the role of Asia, as well as an increase in the demographic and political role of Latin America and Africa. Obsessive anti-Americanism is a disaster, but it is equally disastrous to be deprived of the right to ask our friends questions, for example to do with Guantanamo Bay. We must also patiently explain to Washington that if we are retreating, albeit slowly, from interventionism and protectionism in trade, America should do the same for the sake of balance. EU-US relations should in the near future take the form of a real partnership and a strategic alliance, but this will only happen if we do not succumb to the stereotype of ‘Europe the teacher’ on the one hand, and ‘Europe the American client’ on the other."@en1
