Abstract
This evening I will announce that we are launching official talks for the creation of a comprehensive Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership with the European Union.” With these words Barack Obama, during his speech on the State of the Union on 12th February, officialised what had in actual fact been in the air for weeks. Speaking before the audience at the Brookings Institution in one of her last speeches as Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton had already been rather clear on 29th November 2012. Going back to the reorientation of the US diplomatic effort towards Asia, she had reiterated the intention not to overlook the privileged partnership with Europe. And she concluded with a catchphrase formula: the need to create a new “NATO of the economy.”I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
