The European Union is ready to sign a trade agreement with the United States, which currently holds talks to EU Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security in Washington. The goal is to reach a fundamental agreement, which is similar to the British agreement, which will be clarified later.
This was stated by the President of the European Commission Ursula von der He Mani at a joint press conference with Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederic, which will lead the EU in the next six months.
"As you know, negotiations with the United States continue. Commissioner Sheffchovich is in Washington today. I want to say that we are ready for agreement. We want to find a solution through negotiations, "said the head of the European Commission.
At the same time, he noted that the EU is ready for the fact that the parties may not agree. "In other words, all the tools are ready to use," said Von der Lane.
The agreement with the United States is very important for the EU, and Von der Lane said. We are talking about $ 1.5 trillion in the trade turnover, the volume of very large and complex content. According to him, Europe continues discussions with other partners. "That's why we want to see results during this presidency," he said.
