External trade relations of the European Union with the United States

Abstract

The multilateral decisions are determined today by the economic power of the United States and the European Union. These have developed in the last years though the signed agreements since 1990 until 2009. The principal elements of negotiation are the global challenges and the expansion of the global commerce. In January 2007 their economic relationships intensified towards a transatlantic economic association. The interest in the global competition allows them to keep removing the commercial barriers, for example the patent legislation, industrial standards or the access to the stock exchange. A common transatlantic market could serve efficiently to Europe.
