At a time when the crisis of capitalism is deepening and its contradictions are increasing, this resolution and the goals set for the (‘long-term’) creation of the ‘transatlantic market’ are presented as a real escape route, pointing to the increasing liberalisation of the markets in these two poles of the ‘triad’ and pillars of NATO as a ‘way out’.
In addition to reaffirming the ‘transatlantic’ strategic partnership, the resolution acts as a genuine roadmap to the liberalisation of the financial markets and trade relations between the EU and the US, by listing the obstacles to greater competition and capitalist concentration, to the joy and benefit of large financial and economic groups.
The resolution, in an (impossible) attempt to hide the true aims, contradictions and consequences of realising the ‘transatlantic market’, highlights certain potential social or environmental concerns. However, these seem to arise only as a function and variable of capitalist competition, particularly in the World Trade Organisation.
Despite trying to mitigate the situation by confronting the brutal reality of ‘capitalist globalisation’, the resolution conceals the profound consequences for workers and people in general, and for small and medium-sized enterprises, not only in the EU and the US but also internationally."@en1
