"Madam President, obviously, protectionism is not acceptable and particularly if it impacts on EU companies and suppliers, then we have to fight it. For that reason, it is only right we should be discussing the American Jobs Act today.
As a member of the EU-US Delegation, I am looking forward to discussing this in more detail with our colleagues in upcoming meetings. I agree completely with my colleague, Mr Caspary, who said that the Commission has to be far stronger, far more proactive, and, indeed, I would say far more aggressive in dealing with the situation. I read recently that the majority of Americans now think that their future lies with closer links in trade and in other relationships with Asia than with Europe and that might just tell us what they think of Europe and where we are going. Certainly the Commission will have to take up on the message that Mr Caspary is giving here today, otherwise we might find ourselves more and more marginalised in the world."@en1
