". Mr President, I believe that transatlantic relations also include relations with Canada, as well as those with the United States. From listening to this debate, one would not think so. However, as Chairman of the European Parliament Delegation to Canada, I fully recognise the importance that the Canadian Government attaches to its relationship with the 25 Member States of the European Union. It is important that we continue to maintain a high level of dialogue at summit and ministerial level to address critical issues facing the European Community. The new EU-Canada Partnership Agenda was launched under the Irish presidency in Ottawa on 18 March 2004. It has established a coordination group to ensure the prompt and effective implementation at political level of decisions concerning all elements of the relationship between Canada and the European Union. This intensified dialogue will allow for a more strategic, sustained and coherent approach to all issues affecting Canada and the European Union in an increasingly wide range of sectors. These include: environmental issues, justice and security matters, migration and integration affairs, fisheries, education, culture, youth exchanges and transport security. We will work together to enhance the frequency and level of contact between the Canadian International Development Agency and EU agencies responsible for development assistance in order to bring forward common approaches. Global issues of maintaining peace and security are best addressed in an effective multilateral system within a European Union working together with the US Government, the Canadian Government and our partners at the United Nations to combat international terrorism, tackle global poverty and promote democratic values. We know what our collective challenges are in this regard, so let us go and meet them."@en1
