Abstract
THIS PAPER EXAMINES THE IMPACT OF THE EUROPEAN CRISIS ON THE EUROPEAN UNION’S INTERNATIONAL ROLE, WITH FOCUS ON THE TRANSATLANTIC TRADE AND INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN EUROPEAN UNION AND THE UNITED STATES, AS A SOLUTION FOR THE EUROPEAN CRISIS. NOWADAYS, THE WORLD PASS THROUGH GREAT CHANGES AND THE ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRISIS HAS PUT EUROPE IN DIFFICULTIES, GIVING SOMETIMES THE IMPRESSION OF A EUROPEAN DECLINE. AS A REACTION TO THIS CRISIS, THE EUROPEAN UNION HAS TO USE ITS MOST IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES, SUCH AS RESPONSIBILITY, SOLIDARITY AND GOOD GOVERNANCE. BASED ON THESE PRINCIPLES, THE EVOLUTION OF THE EUROPEAN UNION WILL HAVE AS A RESULT A BETTER UNION AND A BETTER EUROPE. THE CHALLENGES THAT EUROPE FACES NEED MORE INTERNATIONAL IMPLICATION AND COORDINATION. THE NATURE OF GLOBAL TRADE IS CHANGING AND FOR EUROPE, THE NEW CHALLENGES OF USING KNOWLEDGE, INNOVATION, SERVICES AND THE EFFICIENT USE OF RESOURCES ARE NOW THE KEYS TO COMPETITIVENESS.
