"With respect to the next EU-US summit, I would like both to congratulate the rapporteurs, and to underline the need to improve relations between the two communities.
Joint action is needed today in areas of common interest and shared values and threats, in order to lend a new, effective and representative dimension to our common policy and economic relations and to combine forces to face the threat of terrorism.
Global problems require global and prompt action. The priorities of the UN summit in 2005 and the drafting of a plan of action against terrorism should become our goal and our motivation for cooperation, and should speed up reforms in the structures both of NATO and of the UN, with particular emphasis on the reform of the UN Security Council.
The decline of the ‘enemy of the Western world’ in Eastern Europe, and disagreement between the Member States on intervention in Iraq, gives rise to a question posed frequently both in the USA and in Europe, namely whether NATO has any useful purpose any more. The threat of terrorism could provide a basis for the existence of the alliance, but this challenge requires the creation of new political and military structures and cooperation with regard to the EU’s foreign and security policy.
Steps must be taken to draw up a common strategy on securing supplies of energy and raw materials by diversifying our supply sources, production and transportation, and to intensify political dialogue on renewable sources of energy."@en1
