lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the partnership between the United States and the European Union is fundamentally based on values and on enormous economic potential. Mr President, the new Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, summed it up very well – and I am just finishing – when she said, before the Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee: ‘America cannot solve the most pressing problems on our own, and the world cannot solve them without America’. The combined product of the two regions amounts to EUR 23 billion, representing 60% of the world’s gross domestic product. The two regions account for 60% of world trade and have been able to mobilise 75% of the world’s net investment. The rigorous and balanced report submitted to us by Mr Millán Mon, the rapporteur, could not come at a more timely moment – as he has just said – coinciding as it does with the first visit by the recently elected President of the United States to Europe to participate in the G20 meeting, the 60th anniversary of NATO and the extraordinary summit between the European Union and the United States. The European Union and the United States must be able to act to consolidate a leadership three aspects of which, in my view, need to be renewed. Firstly, we should safeguard the principles and values that reinforce this transatlantic alliance. Secondly, we need greater ambition in the transatlantic dialogue in relation to subjects to which both the rapporteur and the Commissioner alluded: Iran, Iraq, the Middle East, Afghanistan, etc. Thirdly, we should try to spark a new dialogue on strategic aspects relating to global issues, such as combating poverty, food and energy security, combating climate change, etc. Mr President, it is very clear that the Europe we wish to establish as a ‘power’ will not be able to shore itself up against the United States, but instead alongside the United States, as two partners who share a certain vision of the world, some values, and have a mutual respect for each other. This does not mean, Mr President, that the European Union should issue a blank cheque: it must defend its positions when necessary, as on the issues of the death penalty, the International Criminal Court, the Kyoto Protocol, Guantánamo and laws with extra-territorial effect, and the United States will have to respect the European Union as a factor for stability and balance within the world."@en1
