"The EU and the USA have many points of contact and are playing a dominant role in solving global problems. However, we must learn good practice from each other and strengthen our partnership in order to ensure the effectiveness of actions. These problems are relevant as far as climate change, a healthy environment and food security are concerned. The huge ecological disaster in the Gulf of Mexico offered hope that the US Government will take appropriate steps to ensure care for the environment and work towards solving the challenges of climate change. The EU must play an active role at the Climate Change conference in Cancún. It is important for the USA to become part of this agreement because sometimes, there is the impression that it would be easier to reach an agreement with developing countries than with the USA. We must find ways of promoting links between the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) and regional or federal trading schemes in the US. We must also seek a transatlantic partnership on strategic energy issues – on security of energy supply and policies to move towards low carbon energy sources. One issue of transatlantic cooperation concerns a healthy environment – novel foods and the use of new technologies in food production. EU society is not completely prepared for innovations, so countries must respect each other’s choices. A strong EU-US partnership must be beneficial to both sides and in a global context. I hope that the forthcoming EU-US summit will represent a step towards this goal."@en1
