Chance to Turn Over a New Transatlantic Leaf
Hans-Gert Pöttering, president of EU parliament | November 5, 2008
By next fall, there will be a new US president, a new European parliament and probably a new EU commission. ++ This means new challenges and huge opportunity to renew positive transatlantic relations. ++ Immediate action is needed to strengthen ties, starting with an invitation for the next US president to address the EU parliament. ++ We need to build a barrier-free transatlantic market and reverse the damage done to public opinion of each other. ++ Only in doing so can we “work together on a common agenda for prosperity and peace.“
