【单选题】The trade and investment relationship between theEuropean Union and the United States is the most important in the worlD、Despite the emergence of competitors,Europe andAmerica are the dynamo of the global economy.
This economic relationship is a foundation of our political partnership, which we all know has been through a difficult patch. The identity of interest betweenEurope andAmerica is less obvious than during the cold war.But while the trans-Atlantic relationship is becoming more complex, that does not make it less important.AsEuropean commissioner for trade, I do not agree thatEuropean andAmerican values are fundamentally diverging, or that our interests no longer coincide.
We still share a belief in democracy and individual freedoms, and in creating opportunity and economic openness. We face the same security challenges. We look ahead to shared global problems: poverty, migration, resource crises, climate change.
We need commitment and vision to redefine our relationship. I want to see a stronger and more balanced partnership -- one in whichEurope is more united, more willing to take its role in global leadership and one where the United States is more inclined to share leadership withEurope. We need to find ways to complement each other, not compete in the political aren
A、
We will not achieve either side of this equation without the other.Europe needs to build stronger foreign policies and to be ready to act on the world stage.But equally, the body language we see fromAmerica has a huge impact on howEuropeans view the partnership. Our common interest requires a strongEurope, not a weak and divided one. I hope that the United States will reinforce its historical support forEuropean integration.
I am fortunate now to take over an area of policy in whichEurope is highly effective: trade. Our top trade priority on both sides of theAtlantic must be to put our weight behind the multilateralDoha development agend
A、Concluding this negotiation in a way that lives up to its ambition will bring enormous benefits.
Collectively, we took a major step in reaching the framework agreement in Geneva last July, following the lead taken by theE、U. on agriculture export subsidies. We now look to the United States and others to follow that lead, and we need to accelerate work in other areas -- on industrial tariffs and services -- to achieve a balanced result.
TheDoha round of talks differs from any other in its focus on development.Europe and the United States must ensure that poorer countries are fully engaged and derive benefits.But the issues we need to tackle to stimulate growth and innovation in trans-Atlantic trade are not those on theDoha agend
A、Our markets are relatively open and highly developeD、We need to concentrate on removing regulatory and structural barriers that inhibit activity. This is about cutting international red tape. Our regulatory systems and cultures are different, but that is where real gains can be made.
AsE、U. trade commissioner I want to develop an ambitious but practical trans-Atlantic agend
A、I am not inclined to set rhetorical targets or launch lofty initiatives. I want a set of achievable goals.
Work on trans-Atlantic deregulation will also contribute to the central goal of the newEuropeanCommission: promoting growth and jobs inEurope.
I am not naive. I am not turning a blind eye to the inevitable disputes in trans-Atlantic trade. They are relatively small as a proportion of total trade, but they make the headlines. They reflect the huge volume of our trade and investment flows. That is gooD、They also reflect our readiness to settle disputes in the World Trade Organization. That is also gooD、The WTO is the best example of effective multilateralism that the world has so far inventeD、I hope we will work together to uphold it. If multilateralism is to be worthwhile, it has to be effective -- and that
