　　一是双方经贸利益巨大。据不完全统计，欧美日均双边贸易额为20万欧元。相互投资存量已达2万亿欧元。此外，欧美相互贸易及投资还为双方提供了1500万个就业岗位。面对欧美巨大的经济利益，双方哪怕只要免除个别商品的关税，都将为企业减轻数以百万的税收负担，进而将这些免除的税收用于创造欧美双方经济增长的新机遇。未来自贸区协议将推动服务贸易、公共采购等领域的贸易障碍并将推进法律合作，这些进展都将使欧美自贸区协定成为推动贸易投资自由化的成功典范。

One is the huge economic and trade interests.According to incomplete statistics,Bilateral trade between Europe and the United States daily for 200000 euros.Mutual investment stock has amounted to 2 trillion euros.In addition,Europe and the United States mutual trade and investment for both sides offered 15 million jobs.In the face of Europe and the United States the huge economic interests,As long as both sides even from individual goods tariffs,For the enterprise will reduce millions of tax burden,And will these exempt from tax used to create both Europe and the economic growth of new opportunities.The future free trade agreement will promote the service trade/Public procurement and other areas of trade barriers and will promote legal cooperation,These developments will make Europe and the United States free trade agreements to promote trade and investment liberalization successful model.

　　二是价值链的有效整合。欧盟和美国是当今世界上经济整合度最高的区域。事实上，欧美双边贸易的产品并非最终制成品。双边贸易也往往是跨国公司的内部贸易行为。欧美自贸区的谈判将能更好地整合跨国公司内部和全球价值链的资源和效率。

The second is the effective integration of the value chain.The European Union and the United States is the world economic integration degree of the area.In fact,Europe and the United States bilateral trade product is not the final finished goods.Bilateral trade also often is a multinational company internal trade behavior.Europe and the United States free trade negotiations will be better integration of multinational company internal and global value chain resources and efficiency.

　　三是彼此分享自由化进程成果。随着欧盟和美国都与各自的贸易伙伴开展自贸区协定谈判等贸易和投资自由化项目。欧美自贸区协定能够整合并使双方分享正在推进的自由化进程成果。

The third is share liberalization results.As the European Union and the United States and their trading partners to carry out free trade agreement negotiation trade and investment liberalization project.Europe and the United States free trade agreements can integrate and make both parties share is promoting the liberalization process results.

　　四是提振信心。尽管欧美双方在短期内达成自贸区协定是不现实的。但是双方宣布开展谈判本身就向外传达出最宝贵的信息欧美双方对彼此经济复苏的信心。这将向双方政府和市场传递积极信号并向各国显示世界最大经济体和最大贸易体即使面临巨大的经济危机也从未倒向保护主义的深渊。

The fourth is boost confidence.Although Europe and the United States both in the short term 'free trade agreement is not realistic.But both sides announced the start of negotiations itself outside the most precious to convey the information to each other both Europe and the United States economic recovery confidence.This will provide both the government and the market transfer positive signal to the countries shows that the world's largest economy and the biggest trade body even in the face of great economic crisis never fall to the abyss of protectionism.

　　德在演讲中也承认，欧美双方在法律体系上存在巨大不同。未来的谈判将不会一帆风顺。但他相信，只要双方继续保有乐观和长远的眼光，双方一定能克服在谈判中遇到的技术性问题，最终达成一个高规格的自贸区协定，确保双方人民的健康、金融、环境和人身安全。（段乃山 李振华）
