The only way to achieve this is through the clear commitment of political leaders on both sides of the Atlantic, together with private-sector involvement, which is fundamental to sustaining urgently needed economic growth.

达到这一目标的唯一办法是大西洋两岸政治领袖的明确承诺，并辅之以私人部门参与，后者是维持急需的经济增长的关键。但所谓时不我待，在西方相对衰落的预言声中，美国和欧盟应该致力于更多的联合，更多的合作和更大的繁荣。如今，这就意味着跨大西洋自由贸易协定。
