Amendment 13

Proposal for a regulation

–

Table from the text: block 5
Proposal for rejection
The European Parliament rejects the Commission proposal.

Or. en

Justification

The European Commission continues to implement the EU–US trade deal despite the US State Department openly discussing regime change in European countries and claiming that Europe has become a hotbed of digital censorship, mass migration, and restrictions on religious freedom. At the same time, President Trump is threatening the EU with tariffs in response to our digital legislation and has added further products to the list of steel derivatives under the Section 232 regime. The European Parliament had no say in the EU–US trade deal, particularly regarding commitments to purchase $750 billion in energy and to make an additional $600 billion in investments in the United States. We strongly criticize the Commission’s negotiating approach of “strategic patience” in response to Trump’s threats and bullying, especially given that no retaliation measures were applied. This approach resulted in a trade deal that amounts to a capitulation of European interests, where our businesses will have to suffer, jobs will be lost, consumers will have to pay higher prices and our agri-food sector will bear the huge economic and social costs. For these reasons, we reject the two Commission proposals implementing this deal.
