"Mr President, two years ago, when Barack Obama was elected to the office of President of the United States, it seemed that, after the difficult term of office of his predecessor, relations between Europe and America would be normalised. It seemed that the times when Washington acted unilaterally in the international arena were coming to an end. We all believed that, faced by an enormous crisis, the United States and the Union were going to work together to try to change the world in order to ensure economic security.
We know, today, that this was a vain hope. After the Copenhagen climate summit, and after the way Mr Obama ignored the Spanish Presidency, the Americans have once again humiliated us and the rest of the world by making a unilateral decision to print money. Despite the numerous promises made to the representatives of European governments, they have made this decision without any kind of consultation. Acting in their own particular interests, they have decided on measures which will adversely affect the European economy.
The upcoming EU-US summit should be used to express our disapproval and to appeal to be treated as partners. Cooperation is not only in our interest, but is also in Washington’s interest, particularly in view of the new geopolitical order which is emerging."@en1
