"This report tries to establish the basis for intensifying trade relations between the EU and the US, claiming that closer economic cooperation between these two countries may help to overcome the crisis. It welcomes the commitment ‘to open trade and investment, expand markets and resist protectionism in all its forms, which are necessary conditions for sustained global economic recovery, jobs and development’. This is the usual list of arguments for the marvels of free trade, on which they keep insisting, even though reality continues to contradict their wonderful promises and make the true consequences of this approach ever more apparent: namely, unemployment, business closure (particularly small and medium-sized enterprises), monopolistic concentration, pressure on the workforce resulting in their devaluation, and increased pressure on the environment and natural resources. The aspects in relation to opening up the market in services and public procurement should also be highlighted, as they are particularly worrying. Further attacks on public services are being lined up, with private capital advancing into ever more new areas of social life, so that it can engage in accumulation processes in an attempt to counteract the ever-deepening crisis."@en1
