lpv:translated text	". In an economic situation like that we have today, characterised by high levels of unemployment and drastic falls in investments, help for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) must be a priority for the European Parliament. Making it easier for SMEs to access the United States market may be a breath of fresh air for many European firms. The United States has now been the main trading partner of the European States for decades, but there are still barriers – mostly not of tariffs – such as quota restrictions, subsidies or monopolies, which hamper the full development of trade relations between Europe and the United States. An EU-US agreement to eliminate these barriers would constitute an important advance for the development of transatlantic trade relations and would help to open up a market for European companies. In the context of a free trade agreement, I hope for better protection for goods and more dynamic engagement from the United States in combating counterfeiting. The phenomenon of misleading the consumer causes a vast amount of economic damage to our manufacturers, which is no longer tolerable."@en1
