Joint Statement: United States-European Union Summit Declaration
June 21, 2006
We, the leaders of the United States of America and the European
Union (EU), met today in Vienna to respond to the concerns of our
citizens for peace, security, stability and prosperity in an
increasingly globalize world.
We welcome that over the past year our Transatlantic Partnership has
delivered real results as shown by the political and economic Progress
Reports we issued today. We remain committed to finding common or
complementary lines of action in many areas. Over the last year, there
have been many examples of how productive our relationship is in the
Middle East, Iran, the Western Balkans, Belarus, on the frozen
conflicts, and Sudan, as well as in our efforts to promote transatlantic
trade and investment under last Summit's Economic Initiative.
We have decided to further strengthen our strategic Partnership by
adopting a number of priority actions to support our cooperation in the
following four areas:
<bullet> Promoting peace, human rights and democracy worldwide;
<bullet> Confronting global challenges, including security;
<bullet> Fostering prosperity and opportunity;
<bullet> Promoting strategic cooperation on energy and energy
security, climate change and sustainable development.
Promoting Peace, Human Rights and Democracy Worldwide
We recognize that the advance of democracy is a strategic priority
of our age. We will intensify our efforts to promote peace, democracy,
freedom, the rule of law and respect for human rights in the world to
make it more secure, safe, and prosperous for all mankind. Noting the
need for tolerance of diverse cultures, beliefs and religions and the
importance of dialogue while emphasizing respect for universal human
rights, we will sustain our efforts to advance democracy.
We will work with the United Nations and international and regional
organizations, civil society, NGOs and dedicated individuals committed
to human rights, democracy and the rule of law. We will work to ensure
that the newly created Human Rights Council becomes an effective and
efficient body committed to the promotion and protection of human rights
and fundamental freedoms for all. We underline our shared commitment to
UN-Reform and we welcome the establishment of and give our backing to
the Peacebuilding Commission and the UN Democracy Fund. We will continue
to support reform in the Mediterranean region and the Middle East and
will promote greater participation of civil society in the reform
process through our respective efforts, including the Barcelona Process,
the European Neighbourhood Policy, the Middle East Partnership
Initiative, and our joint actions through the Broader Middle East and
North Africa Initiative and the Foundation and Fund for the Future.
We will continue to closely cooperate in the Middle East, notably
through the Quartet. We welcome the temporary international
[[Page 1198]]
mechanism to deliver assistance directly to the Palestinian people. We
will continue to deliver humanitarian assistance and promote Palestinian
democracy and civil society. Whilst recalling President Abbas'
commitment to a platform of peace, we will continue to urge the new
Palestinian government to commit to non-violence, recognize Israel's
right to exist and accept existing agreements and obligations. We will
continue to call on Israel to ease restrictions on access and movement
and to take additional steps including with respect to the Palestinian
tax and customs revenues, to improve the humanitarian situation of the
Palestinian people. We remind both sides of their obligations under the
15 November 2005 Agreement. We will continue to promote a negotiated
solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict on the basis of the Roadmap
in order to advance a just, viable and lasting two-state solution and we
call on both parties to avoid unilateral measures that prejudice final
status issues. We call on the Palestinian Authority government to
implement policies that will permit the international community to
provide greater support to and review its policies on contact with the
Palestinian Authority.
We will strongly urge Syria to implement UNSC Resolutions 1559,
1595, 1636, 1680 and 1686 and to prevent its territory from being used
to support violence in Iraq, and end cross-border transit and support
for terrorist groups. Similarly, Syria must end its support for Lebanese
and non-Lebanese militias, and prevent the smuggling of arms and other
support to these groups. We will work together to increase support for
human rights and democracy, and secure the release of political
prisoners in Syria. We will strongly urge Syria to refrain from any
attempt at destabilizing Lebanon.
We will jointly support political, economic and institutional
reforms in Lebanon, as well as its sovereignty, democracy, territorial
integrity, unity and political independence. We will strengthen efforts
to coordinate assistance to Lebanon, and we support the reform plan of
the Lebanese government and seek to work towards an international Core
Group conference. We support the efforts of the Lebanese government to
disarm and disband Lebanese and non-Lebanese militias, as called for in
UNSCR 1559 and 1680, and we will support the call expressed by the UN
Security Council to halt the flow of arms and funds to terrorist groups
and militias. We support UNSCR 1686 and the continuation of the
investigation of the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister
Rafiq Hariri.
We support progress by the Government of Egypt towards ensuring
fundamental freedoms, and building multi-party democracy. We will
continue to encourage the Egyptian government to proceed with the
fundamental political and constitutional reforms it announced
particularly by replacing the emergency law with a counterterrorism law
in conformity with international human rights standards.
We will support the newly constitutionally elected government of
Iraq and call upon it to continue the policies of inclusiveness as a
means to overcome divisions within Iraq. We will continue to assist in
building an independent, stable, secure, democratic, prosperous and
united Iraq at peace with its neighbors and the international community.
We call on the international community to show its support for the new
government in particular by increasing development, rule of law, and
security assistance, offering capacity building support, providing
generous debt relief on terms equivalent to the Paris Club Agreement and
extending its local presence keeping in mind the security situation.
Over the past year our cooperation on Iran has reached a new level.
We have worked closely together at every stage of the ongoing attempts
to address the question of Iran's nuclear program. We have agreed on a
set of far-reaching proposals as a basis for discussion with Iran. We
believe that they offer Iran the chance to reach a negotiated agreement
based on cooperation, if Iran is willing to make that choice. The United
States has made clear that it is prepared to join the negotiations
should Iran resume full and verifiable suspension of all enrichment
related and reprocessing activities as required by the IAEA. We have
agreed that if Iran decides not to engage in negotiations, further steps
would be taken in the Security Council. We urge Iran to take the
positive path.
[[Page 1199]]
Building on the success of the London January 2006 conference on
Afghanistan, we will support Afghan efforts to build a democratic,
accountable and sustainable state. We will pay particular importance to
governance, human rights, reform of the public administration, the
judiciary and security sector, counter-narcotics as well as an Afghan-
led process of reconciliation and justice.
Recognizing the next year to be a crucial period for the Western
Balkans we will build on the experience of our successful transatlantic
cooperation by cooperating to stabilize the countries in the region,
support their European and Euro-Atlantic perspectives and to combat
organized crime and corruption. We will continue to work with NATO as
well as the OSCE to ensure the security and prosperity of the region. On
Kosovo in particular, we will continue to ensure the convergence of our
positions on the ongoing talks in order to promote a lasting status that
respects the Contact Group principles. We will develop our relations
with Montenegro as a sovereign, independent State and call on both
Serbia and Montenegro to pursue a direct and constructive dialogue on
their future relations.
Ukraine has made remarkable progress in democratic and economic
reforms. Building on the March 2006 elections, we will support Ukraine's
development as a democratic, prosperous and secure country. We will help
Ukraine pursue economic reforms, combat corruption and reform the energy
sector.
We will continue to support the democratic aspirations of the people
of Belarus and work together to strengthen democratic institutions,
assist civil society, and promote independent media. We condemn the use
of violence in Belarus and the repression of the democratic opposition
and we urge the authorities of Belarus to release all political
detainees. The travel ban imposed on President Lukashenko and others, as
well as the freezing of assets of individuals responsible for violations
of international election standards and human rights abuses are good
examples of our broad cooperation and coordination. We remain resolved
to help the people of Belarus achieve their aspirations for a better
future.
We will contribute to finding a solution to the Transnistrian
conflict that assures Moldova's territorial integrity. We will work with
all relevant parties to resolve through peaceful, negotiated settlements
the frozen conflicts in the Southern Caucasus and encourage the
democratic processes in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia.
We will work together to promote democratic and economic reforms,
human rights, freedom of expression and the press, the rule of law in
Central Asia to promote international security and stability. We
continue to call upon Uzbekistan government to facilitate an independent
international investigation into the tragic events of Andijon.
We attach great importance to our relationship with Russia and are
pursuing deeper cooperation on a range of issues of common interest,
including some important foreign policy issues, non-proliferation and
counterterrorism. We are concerned about some recent developments in
Russia and the region and will work with Russia to promote energy
security, the application of the rule of law, an independent judiciary
and full respect for human rights, including free and independent media
and a vibrant civil society, and a resolution of frozen conflicts in the
region. We will make constructive use of the OSCE as an important forum
for cooperative and comprehensive security and call on Russia to fulfill
all Istanbul and OSCE commitments.
Regarding our respective relations with Latin America and the
Caribbean, we recognize the need for greater collaboration to promote
stable and effective democracies, as well as market economies that
contribute to greater social cohesion. We will actively engage NGOs and
civil society, and we will support access to information, establishment
of rule of law and independent media where this is not provided. Where
necessary, we call on countries in the region to provide coherent and
effective support and protection to individuals, organizations or
institutions working for the promotion and protection of human rights
and democracy. We express our deep concern about the human rights
situation in Cuba, and urge the Cuban government to take rapid steps to
improve the situation. We welcome the reestablishment of the
[[Page 1200]]
constitutional order in Haiti, support the renewal of the UN
Stabilization Mission's mandate, and welcome police and troop
contributions to the mission.
We will jointly work towards rapid implementation of the Darfur
Peace Agreement. We will work with the United Nations and other
international and regional partners and organizations, including NATO,
to strengthen the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) with the
assistance required, and UN authorization to ``bluehat'' the AMIS force
by September. We will continue to support the Comprehensive Peace
Agreement in Sudan and will continue to mobilize resources for
humanitarian needs.
We will seek to ensure successful elections on 30 July 2006 in the
Democratic Republic of Congo, and will continue our support for the
building of government institutions, training programs, and security
sector reform. In the post-transition the United States and the EU will
prioritize support for improved governance, the rule of law and security
sector reform.
In Somalia, we reiterate our support to the efforts of the
Transitional Federal Institutions (TFI) in pursuing dialogue,
reconciliation and stable governance. We will assist the transition and
the establishment of viable and inclusive institutions in order to
promote stability in Somalia and the region.
We will further coordinate our respective efforts on humanitarian
and democracy assistance to address the worsening plight of the
population in Zimbabwe. We call on the Government of Zimbabwe to restore
democratic freedoms and the rule of law, and to respect human rights. We
are ready, as soon as significant action in this direction is taken, to
reconsider the restrictive measures now in place against Zimbabwe. We
also call for measures by the Government of Zimbabwe needed to reverse
the economic collapse.
We will enhance our joint efforts in conflict prevention and crisis
management by increasing consultations on current and potential crises,
identifying ways to strengthen cooperation in crisis management and
post-conflict reconstruction, and coordinating efforts to improve
international crisis management capacities.
Confronting Global Challenges, including Security
Since no single nation can efficiently and effectively deal with
global challenges such as climate change, counter-terrorism, non-
proliferation, pandemics and natural disasters on its own, we commit
ourselves to strengthening our cooperation to address these challenges.
Consistent with our common values, we will ensure that measures
taken to combat terrorism comply fully with our international
obligations, including human rights law, refugee law and international
humanitarian law. We attach great importance to our ongoing in-depth
dialogue on our common fight against terrorism and our respective
domestic and international legal obligations.
We will step up our cooperation against terrorism, including through
denying resources (financing, travel, and other material support) and
shelter to terrorists, and we will co-ordinate efforts to prevent a new
generation of recruits from emerging by countering radicalization and
recruitment, and promoting tolerance, including by cooperating on
developing regional strategies and by implementing--and encouraging
others to implement--steps required by UNSCR 1624. In particular, we
will work to enhance our border security cooperation by improving lost
and stolen passport data sharing with Interpol, coordinating the
implementation of biometric standards based on ICAO recommendations. We
will cooperate to block terrorism financing, in particular in the
informal financial sector, by developing improved procedures for
information sharing and a more pro-active use of financial
investigations implementing FATF Special Recommendations, among others
by enforcing cash declaration regulations for travelers, optimizing the
use of financial intelligence and controls, and engaging the private
sector to develop partnerships to enhance protection of financial
institutions.
We will strengthen our cooperation by completing negotiations on a
U.S.-Eurojust cooperative agreement and we will step up our coordination
to improve counterterrorism capacity building in third countries. We
welcome the signature of bilateral agreements by EU member states and
[[Page 1201]]
the United States to accompany the U.S.-EU Mutual Legal Assistance
Treaty and Extradition Agreements, and will aim to bring them into force
as soon as possible. We intend to agree without delay on a Comprehensive
UN Convention on International Terrorism, and on a universally accepted
definition of terrorism and we will work with others towards a targeted
UN strategy on combating terrorism. We take note of the ``Vienna
Initiative'', initialed on 4th May, on possible future tripartite
cooperation in the field of justice and home affairs between the EU, the
Russian Federation and the United States.
We will strengthen our efforts to prevent access by terrorists to
weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their means of delivery. We will
work together to further implement our Program of Work on the Non-
Proliferation of WMD, in particular by reinforcing our support for the
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and we will continue to work together
to strengthen it, stressing the importance of compliance and promoting
its universality.
Our cooperation will include the full implementation of UNSC
Resolution 1540, including by conducting joint demarches, where
appropriate, to urge all countries to fully implement their obligations
under UNSCR 1540, and by assisting States to meet their obligations. In
implementing UNSC Resolution 1540, we will also address the issue of
financing of proliferation-related activities and develop our
cooperation in that regard by seeking to identify, track, seize or
freeze assets associated with the proliferation trade, in accordance
with national legislation and consistent with international law, and
consider further actions against proliferation finance.
We will support the rapid opening and conclusion of negotiations on
a Fissile Material Cut-Off Treaty at the Conference on Disarmament and
emphasize that, pending the conclusion of the Treaty and the Treaty's
entry into force, all states should declare publicly and observe a
moratorium on the production of fissile material for use in nuclear
weapons. We will continue to work together in the Nuclear Suppliers
Group framework on proposals to develop transfer restrictions on
enrichment and reprocessing (ENR) technology and to support multilateral
mechanisms for reliable fuel supply assurances for States that have
chosen not to pursue ENR.
We will coordinate efforts in preparing for the Biological Toxins
and Weapons Convention Review Conference with a view to promote a
productive outcome, the universality of the convention and the
implementation by all States Parties through national laws and
regulations in order to put these obligations into practice. We reaffirm
our commitment to the Chemical Weapons Convention and its full
implementation.
We reiterate our support for multilateral efforts to improve
prevention and combat global health threats such as the spread of
pandemics, including HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis, and other
communicable diseases like SARS and Hepatitis. We agree that priority
should be given to promoting effective control measures in animal health
as a means to reduce outbreaks of H5N1 in birds. We will further
increase regional and global cooperation between states, international
organizations and civil society in mitigating and preparing for a
pandemic, to which input by the International Partnership on Avian and
Pandemic Influenza is welcome. We will further improve coordination of
our response to natural disasters that have cost the lives of hundreds
of thousands of people.
Fostering Prosperity and Opportunity
We reiterate our strong commitment to reaching an ambitious
conclusion to the Doha Development Agenda by the end of 2006. These
negotiations are at a critical phase and we call on all WTO members to
demonstrate the political will and courage necessary to achieve an
ambitious and balanced agreement that will help strengthen global
economic growth, improve living standards, and alleviate poverty. We
recognize the need for trade ministers to make substantial progress on
core negotiating areas over the next few weeks in order to ensure that
this historic opportunity to liberalize trade is not missed. As
responsible leaders, we will continue to work in cooperation with other
WTO members towards an agreement that is worthy of the objectives
identified in
[[Page 1202]]
launching the Doha Development Agenda in 2001.
We will increase our partnership with developing countries to
promote growth globally for the benefit of all. This will help us to
realize the internationally agreed development goals and objectives,
including the Millennium Development Goals and the objectives and
commitments of the Monterrey Consensus, which have helped to galvanize
efforts towards poverty eradication through development co-operation and
economic growth.
We will redouble our efforts to promote economic growth and
innovation and reduce the barriers to transatlantic trade and investment
by implementing all aspects of the Transatlantic Economic Initiative, in
line with the Work Program agreed at the U.S.-EU Economic Ministerial
Meeting in November 2005, and to be updated and reviewed at a second
U.S.-EU Economic Ministerial meeting later this year.
We endorse the new Action Strategy for the enforcement of
intellectual property rights against piracy and counterfeiting.
Implementation has already started with concrete actions aimed at
promoting strong and effective enforcement in third countries,
strengthening cooperation to reduce global piracy and counterfeiting,
and offering public-private partnerships to protect intellectual
property. We will enhance our dialogue to promote a more efficient
international patent system.
We will build on the progress of the High Level Regulatory
Cooperation Forum and associated dialogues, and expand implementation of
our Regulatory Cooperation Roadmap to address new topics and sectors and
initiate targeted exchanges of regulatory experts. As part of our
Innovation Initiative, we will work to measure innovation performance,
its impact on the economy, and to understand better each other's
innovation policies. We will implement the U.S.-EU plan on e-
accessibility with the goal of reaching a coherent approach on our
policies in this area. We will work on an implementing arrangement on
environment research and eco-informatics under our Agreement on
Scientific and Technological Cooperation. We will continue to work
together through the U.S.-EU Financial Markets Regulatory Dialogue and
the Policy Dialogue on Border and Transportation Security.
We pledge to keep our investment regimes open and to build on
existing investment flows to boost growth and create jobs in the
transatlantic economy. We will address obstacles to transatlantic
investment with a view to promoting closer economic integration.
We will redouble our efforts to conclude a first stage Air Transport
Agreement in 2006. The United States and the EU will cooperate closely
on the legal framework governing the transfer of air passenger data
following the European Court of Justice ruling of 30 May 2006.
We will work together to ensure implementation of phase I of the
Wine Agreement, and, as mutually agreed, pursue negotiations on phase II
in September.
We have signed today a new Agreement on Higher Education and
Vocational Training under which our respective educational institutions
will inaugurate innovative joint study programs, promote exchanges of
students, teachers, and other professionals, strengthen the Fulbright-
Schuman Program and encourage greater institutional collaboration in
tertiary education.
We recognize the need for tangible progress to be made towards the
establishment of reciprocal visa-free travel for all EU citizens to the
United States, as part of our efforts to promote the economic and social
benefits of increased travel while keeping borders secure.
Promoting Strategic Cooperation on Energy and Energy Security, Climate
Change and Sustainable Development
We recognize the strategic role of security of supply,
competitiveness and sustainability in the energy sector. In this
connection, we strongly reaffirm our commitment to the energy security
principles enunciated by the International Energy Agency. We have agreed
to reinforce our strategic energy cooperation to:
<bullet> support diversification of energy sources and supplies;
<bullet> secure our energy infrastructure;
[[Page 1203]]
<bullet> promote market-based energy security policies that ensure
competition, transparency, respect for contracts, and non-
discriminatory trade, transit, and access;
<bullet> speed development of new lower-pollution and lower carbon
technologies;
<bullet> accelerate investment in cleaner, more efficient use of
fossil sources and renewable sources in order to cut air
pollution harmful to human health and natural resources, and
reducing greenhouse gases associated with the serious long-
term challenge of global climate change.
We will cooperate to ensure sufficient, reliable and environmentally
responsible supplies of energy at prices reflecting market fundamentals,
facilitating sustained global economic growth as well as expanding
access to energy in developing countries. Thus, we agree to:
<bullet> Improve energy security by enhancing the dialogue with the
main transit, producer and consumer countries and by
promoting diversification of energy sources and supply
routes worldwide and notably in the Caspian Sea region,
Middle East, continental Africa and Latin America;
<bullet> Analyze geopolitical implications of the worldwide energy
situation as it develops, its impact on our external
policies and to develop mutually reinforcing policies where
appropriate;
<bullet> Promote energy security policies in key third countries by
encouraging a gradual transition to market pricing and
behavior, and co-ordinate capacity-building assistance to
emerging economies, including to increase energy efficiency,
adopt clean technologies and build strategic stocks;
<bullet> Support maintenance and improvement of pipeline
infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted deliveries and
facilitate diversification investments in large trans-
national projects by ensuring convergence of legal and
regulatory frameworks and supporting collaboration among
energy regulatory authorities, notably with Ukraine;
<bullet> Coordinate where appropriate technical assistance to
improve energy legal and regulatory frameworks and
investment climates in third countries;
<bullet> Improve the security of global energy networks and develop
standards for physical security of critical energy
infrastructure;
<bullet> Facilitate development of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG);
<bullet> Increase our coordination within international fora,
notably the G8, the International Energy Agency (IEA) and
the International Energy Forum (IEF);
<bullet> Use energy in a more efficient and environmentally
responsible manner, and in particular cooperate on improving
the efficiency of world-wide traded products. In this
context we have just initialed a new Energy Star Agreement;
<bullet> Make more and better use of renewable energy sources and
reinforce technological cooperation and partnerships,
notably on environmentally-friendly low emission power
generation technologies, hydrogen energy, carbon
sequestration, cutting gas flaring and biofuels;
<bullet> Promote diversification of fuel sources in transportation
sector, including through increase use of biofuels;
<bullet> Continue cooperation through the International Partnership
for a Hydrogen Economy and increase collaboration over
regulatory, standards and trade issues affecting alternative
fuels and emerging technologies, especially hydrogen;
<bullet> Cooperate on developing efficient, transitional transport
technologies, and fuel standards, such as plug-in hybrids or
efficient diesel engines;
<bullet> Continue scientific exchanges among U.S. and EU research
and development organizations focused on energy efficiency
in buildings;
<bullet> Promote, consistent with national energy policies, safety
standards in the production of nuclear energy.
To monitor and guide this process, we will conduct an annual
strategic review of U.S.-EU energy cooperation.
We also agreed to promote energy security worldwide by applying the
following Energy Security Principles:
[[Page 1204]]
a. Contractual commitments should be upheld and market-based
principles should prevail at all stages of the energy supply
chain.
b. Diversifying sources of energy and modes/routes of transit,
and ensuring non-discriminatory third-party access to
transit infrastructure will improve the functioning of
energy markets worldwide.
c. Open, transparent, non-discriminatory and stable legal
conditions that ensure fair and equitable treatment for
energy investment and trade are essential to helping
producing and transit countries meet market demands.
d. Further development of production and export capacities in
producer countries in a safe and secure environment, and the
upgrading of existing and development of new energy
transportation infrastructures by producer and transit
countries as well as further development of refinery
capacity in all countries are critical.
e. Bolstering and ensuring the highest levels of physical and
environmental security and safety of energy infrastructures,
as well as the highest level of nuclear safety, is crucial
to the durability and sustainability of the global energy
system.
f. We should encourage the most economic and efficient use of
energy worldwide notably through the use of market-based
instruments to minimize negative environmental consequences,
and should promote in particular the use of cleaner and more
efficient use of fossil fuels and the development of
economically competitive non-fossil energy sources based on
appropriate policies and market-based instruments.
g. We should promote continued research, development and
deployment of alternative energy sources and the
facilitation of technological and industrial co-operation.
h. Supporting effective implementation of transparency and
data sharing ini-
tiatives, such as the Joint Oil Data Initiative (JODI),
including on the evaluation of oil reserves, and the
Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) will
improve transparency and predictability of the market for
all stakeholders.
i. Addressing energy poverty endured by many of the world's
poorest people who will still lack access to modern energy
services is a priority.
We will work more closely to address the serious and long-term
challenge of climate change, biodiversity loss and air pollution and
will act with resolve and urgency to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We
will continue our dialogue and efforts under the UN Framework Convention
on Climate Change (UNFCCC), including work on long-term cooperative
action in the process established in Montreal in December 2005. To this
end, we have agreed to establish an U.S.-EU High Level Dialogue on
Climate Change, Clean Energy and Sustainable Development to build on
existing bilateral and multilateral initiatives and further advance
implementation of the G-8 Gleneagles Plan of Action for Climate Change,
Clean Energy and Sustainable Development. This dialogue will be guided
by the ultimate objective of the UNFCCC and will initially meet in fall
2006 in Helsinki. Among topics of importance for this dialogue will be
experience with different market-based mechanisms to promote cost-
effective reductions in greenhouse gas emissions; advancing the
development and deployment of existing and transformational technologies
that are cleaner and more efficient, producing energy with significantly
lower emissions; efficiency and conservation; renewable fuels; clean
diesel; capture of methane; lower emitting agricultural operations and
energy production and distribution systems, as well as other
environmental issues.
