USA will remain most important partner in shaping global economy

“The transatlantic relationship between the United States and the European Union defines the shape of the global economy as a whole. The United States are and will remain the most important partner of the European Union in shaping a fair and rule-based globalisation to the benefit of all”, said Markus J. Beyrer at the Transatlantic Business Conference 2016 in Frankfurt, Germany. He underlined the need to reinvigorate EU-US relations as both have special responsibilities when it comes to trade and globalisation. “If Europe and the Unites States want to shape globalisation according to our high standards in areas like consumer and product safety, including food safety, social and environmental protection we need to be able to conclude and implement comprehensive and modern trade agreements like TTIP”, added BusinessEurope Director General at the conference.
