".
Many global challenges in the sphere of foreign policy, security, development and the environment require a joint approach and transatlantic cooperation, but at present, the economic crisis has taken priority as one of the main challenges facing us. Although the EU and the US are still the largest world economies, they face fundamental challenges as a result of the financial crisis and the growing competition from the developing economies. In my view, we need to establish and contribute to the effective functioning of a common transatlantic initiative to create jobs, including a plan to support trade and investment. It would be good if the EU and the US continued to develop existing mechanisms of cooperation and tried to intensify their efforts in dialogue on regulation, raising customs barriers, removing unjustified non-customs barriers and establishing joint standards which would remove the technical barriers to free and equitable trade.
Finally, the necessity to secure freedom and security in one’s own country should not have the consequence of renouncing fundamental principles of civic freedoms and support for the norms of human rights. To this end, and in order to put joint efforts into overcoming the crisis, the need for closer cooperation between Europe and the US has never been more relevant or necessary."@en1
