"The dominant global position that the United States and the European Union occupy imposes a responsibility that we cannot shirk. It is not a matter of defending the positions we have adopted or of vainly trying to obstruct historical processes on the pretext of preserving that dominance. It is, rather, a question of asserting the advances in civilisation that have characterised our countries for decades. The desire to achieve well-being for our peoples by democratic means – through the free market, more humane working conditions, social systems that work and all the other achievements that make our countries what they are today – counts for much more than a dominant position in an international league table that can provide raw data but not convey emotions or reflect quality of life. All that applies not only to the management of global economic relations, but also to more sensitive issues in areas such as foreign policy or environmental policy (together with their implications for industrial and energy policy). Greater coordination today can produce a better world tomorrow, and it is not our intention to give up that ambitious goal."@en1
