"Mr President, one of the most important aspects of transatlantic relations is the European Union’s cooperation with the United States in support of democracy and human rights throughout the world. The resurgence of democracy we are seeing in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, the Caucasus, Central Asia and Africa means that the European Union and the USA must coordinate their action to promote democratic values, to monitor free elections, to encourage the formation of political parties, trade unions and independent civil society organisations and to defend the freedom of the media.
In this new global era, we need a new vision of an international political order based on democracy and human rights. At this moment in time, both the United States and the European Union must avoid a repeat of the genocide and ethnic cleansing that has taken place before the eyes of the whole world.
A new agreement is needed to achieve this goal. Its aim should be to bring about closer cooperation between the European Union and the United States in support of freedom, peace and security. Wherever necessary, it should also provide for joint preventive action to forestall humanitarian or environmental disasters."@en1
