lpv:translated text	"The resolution emphasises a number of important areas for continued reinforced cooperation between the EU and the United States, but also areas about which there are different views. In my opinion, it is important for the EU not to give way, especially when it comes to the United States’s responsibility for climate policy. In particular, I appreciate the fact that, in paragraph 22, Parliament ‘[a]grees with the European Commission that the US complaint to the WTO about the EU’s authorisation procedures for GMOs is legally unwarranted, economically unfounded and politically unhelpful’. In spite of this, I have not been able to support the resolution since paragraph 5 requires qualified majority voting in the Council of Ministers for foreign and security policy too. I neither share that view nor consider it to be realistic. European cooperation would be ineffective if a country’s population, government and parliament were forced to conduct a foreign and security policy they did not want. For this reason, I have chosen to vote against the report, which was however adopted (by 303 votes in favour, 109 against and 47 abstentions)."@en1
