2007 is an important year for the European Union and the United States. 00:00:00
The EU celebrates 50 years in existence and now matches the US as an economic power. 00:00:06
The US is entering its fifth year in Iraq. 00:00:12
Significant global challenges lay ahead, such as climate change and the Middle East. 00:00:15
Working on these issues requires a constant transatlantic conversation. 00:00:20
The face of Europe in Washington is EU ambassador to the United States, John Bruton. 00:00:24
Former Prime Minister of Ireland, his political background is a distinct advantage. 00:00:30
Administrations come and go, presidents come and go, but members of Congress tend to last 00:00:35
quite a long time. 00:00:41
So ensuring that every member of Congress knows about the EU, recognises that the EU 00:00:42
is a potential partner for him or her in their work. 00:00:47
This puts European issues directly in front of policy makers. 00:00:51
A hot topic on the hill right now, and for the EU, is the issue of global warming. 00:00:55
We know that we Europeans and Americans are more responsible for this than anyone else. 00:01:00
The European Union is saying we'll cut our greenhouse gases to 20% below our 1990 level 00:01:04
by 2020. 00:01:10
And we're saying to the Americans, will you commit to do something similar? 00:01:11
There is a lot of agreement on Iran to approach the isolation of Iran and Europe exercises 00:01:15
influence in places where the United States does not. 00:01:24
For John Bruton, sending home the message to politicians and public alike that the EU 00:01:27
is a good partner for the US defines his role. 00:01:32
In his visits to universities around the states, he's keeping a keen eye on tomorrow's decision 00:01:36
makers too. 00:01:40
Are we going to use our power to ensure that everybody gets the same chance that we now 00:01:42
have? 00:01:50
