lpv:translated text	"My colleagues and I have given our consent to the opening of negotiations in early 2013 on a possible trade agreement with the United States. The strong potential for growth and jobs on both sides of the Atlantic could allow us to create a real transatlantic market, although we must take care to ensure that the interests of the European Union are protected, particularly in the agricultural sector. It is important to remember that the EU and the United States have the largest economic relationship in the world, with a trade volume of EUR 700 billion and a bilateral investment stock valued at EUR 2.4 trillion in 2011. This agreement could increase the gross domestic product of the European Union and the United States by more than EUR 163 billion by 2018, if half of the existing non-tariff barriers were removed. I am therefore in favour of the opening of these negotiations, although we must be careful to ensure that we are on the same page in the agricultural sector with regard to geographical indications, genetically modified organisms, animal welfare, food safety and all of the other subjects that we consider to be fundamental, on which we must not compromise."@en1
