"Thanks to the World Trade Organisation and to a number of multilateral and bilateral initiatives, world trade has witnessed a major expansion. Despite this fact, the European Union, which, at the time of the introduction of the Lisbon strategy in 2000, accounted for 25% of global GDP, is expected to have only an 18% share in 2020. Meanwhile, various sources estimate that China and India, which generated only 10% of global GDP in 2000, will attain a 25% share in 2020. Such a change should also be reflected in EU policies. While EU population growth is slowing down, population numbers in other countries, particularly in the developing countries, continue to see a rapid growth. Nowadays, 18% of jobs in the EU, that is 36 million jobs, depend on foreign trade. It is expected that by 2015, 90% of global economic growth will be generated outside the European Union. Hence, the Commission should elaborate as early as possible a long-term foreign trade strategy which will reflect the changing EU role in the global economy."@en1
