Welcome from the Chair
Welcome to the pages of the European Parliament's Delegation for relations with the United States of America (D-US).
As Chair of this 58-member strong delegation, I have the honour of presiding over our regular meetings in Brussels and Strasbourg, many of which are webstreamed live and can be followed on this website.
I also have the privilege of co-chairing the inter-parliamentary meetings (IPMs) we hold twice a year with colleagues from the House of Representatives of the United States Congress.
The next meeting, scheduled for December 2018 in Washington DC, will be the 83rd EU-US IPM, which demonstrates the deep and long-standing nature of the ties between EU and US parliamentarians.
During these joint meetings, our debates focus on specific areas of common competence of our two legislatures and on practical ways of enhancing our cooperation further.
Both the US and the EU currently face a wide range of pressing individual and collective challenges. In this uncertain context, the relationship between our two bodies has become more important than ever.
I am convinced that our personal ties, our interlinked economies, our shared history and our common values are the ingredients that will continue to make the transatlantic relationship so enduring.
Christian Ehler

The 83rd Inter-Parliamentary meeting (IPM) of the Transatlantic Legislators' Dialogue, scheduled to take place in Washington, DC on 5 December 2018, was postponed for next year.
The four IPM sessions planned with the House of Representatives were derailed and had to be postponed due to the passing and funeral arrangements of former President George H.W. Bush. Despite this last minute change, the EP delegation held two full days of meetings on 3 and 4 December 2019 with Senate and the Administration (including the Departments of State and Defence and the Office of the US Trade Representative) and a working meal with Members of the House. In a deeply moving and significant occasion, the US Delegation Members also got the opportunity to pay their respects before the casket of the late President Bush under the Rotunda of the Capitol, on behalf of the European Parliament. More information on the meetings and the postponed IPM will follow.
