".
I voted for the motion for a resolution on trade and economic relations with the United States based on the fact that the EU and the US are each other’s biggest trading partners and the two economies together account for approximately half of the global economic output and nearly a third of world trade flows, making it the largest economic relationship in the world.
. EU-US trade and investment must be put to better use in order to stimulate intelligent, strong, balanced, sustainable growth, focused on social inclusion and resources effectiveness, and ultimately job creation. We highlight the importance of a sustained consolidation the of transatlantic economic relations while supporting EU interests in the areas of: environmental protection, health, animal rights, food safety, cultural diversity, workers’ rights, consumer rights, financial and public services, and geographical indications.
We also welcome the initiatives adopted in respect of the key areas of technological development, such as nano-technology, electric vehicles, intelligent networks and e-health. Given the rising prominence of e-commerce, data protection standards also plays an important role in protecting consumers in the EU and the US, which both need to tackle international digital security threats in a concerted manner."@en1
