"I read the following in a European Union White Paper in 1996: a fierce global battle is expected in the coming decades between Europe, the United States, Japan and the emerging Asian countries. Fortunately, this battle is taking place not with weapons, but mainly in the economic sector. Europe must hold its own in this. President Giscard d’Estaing, who was Chairman of the Convent, the leader of a government drafting a failed constitution, said that Europe must not be the United States’ rival, but a reliable partner. This is a key issue in the EU-US Summit’s success. We must strive for partnership, but if our only consideration is for the United States to regard us as a partner, and we do not get involved in conflicts on behalf of Europe’s population, we cannot achieve success in important matters."@en1
