Abstract

The United States and the European Union are now engaged in a new initiative aimed at strengthening transatlantic economic and political cooperation. The initiative has a government component (New Transatlantic Agenda -- NTA) and a private sector component (the Transatlantic Business Dialogue -- TABD). Should this transatlantic initiative lead to new trade agreements, the Administration will have to seek congressional approval for such agreements. The scope of agreements under the New Transatlantic Agenda could transcend traditional trade issues, extending to cover such "new" trade (or beyond-the-border) issues as environment and labor, regulatory systems, and competition policy.
