Recommendations for opening of negotiations between the EU and the US (debate)
MPphoto
 

  Dita Charanzová (ALDE). – Madam President, the US and European have always been natural partners. We champion common values and face common threats together. As in any relationship, there have been highs and lows. Despite the occasional obstacle, the fundamental common interests of our relationship remain strong.

Last year was clearly a low for our trade. While responding firmly to the tariffs on steel and aluminium, the EU at the same time showed it is willing to cooperate to find solutions. The message was clear: we need to work together; we need this for our businesses and the jobs they create in Europe. Our markets, resources, security and citizens are highly interdependent, and this will only increase. Therefore I hope this Parliament will clearly support the launch of the negotiations. We can always win through negotiations, but we will only lose if we close the door to the US.
