EU Trade Commissioner Catherine Ashton delivered a speech at the Carnegie Endowment in Washington, DC, in which she called on the EU and US to stand up for open trade in the economic downturn. She argued that a commitment to open markets is as important in the current economic crisis as determining the right fiscal stimulus and financial regulation, as trade creates growth and jobs. Commissioner Ashton concluded that the EU and US must show leadership both in the multilateral trade arena as well as in tackling bilateral trade issues, in order to help lift the global economy out of recession. |
