Debate
Pino Arlacchi (S&D ), in writing . − I voted in favour of this resolution because I am confident that a comprehensive transatlantic trade and investment partnership, once fully implemented, could bring significant economic gains for both the EU and the US. In light of the ongoing economic crisis, the high level of public debt, the high unemployment rates and modest growth projections on both sides of the Atlantic, it is crucial for the EU and the US to develop a truly integrated transatlantic market, in order to maximise the creation of new jobs and stimulate strong and balanced growth potential.
