4 janvier<\/a>, Merkel a re\u00e7u un assez bon accueil sur la question du Moyen-Orient (relance du processus de paix avec une place plus grande faite \u00e0 l’UE) et un accueil glacial sur la question d’une relance du projet mythique de march\u00e9 commun transatlantique, une sorte d’OTAN du commerce<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t Sur le Moyen-Orient, c’est l’habituelle illusion europ\u00e9enne. Les USA donnent des bonnes paroles et gardent leur exclusivit\u00e9 d’action, voulant \u00e0 tout prix se r\u00e9server le droit de faire leurs habituelles erreurs et de poursuivre leur politique catastrophique.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t Sur le commerce, les Allemands esp\u00e8rent beaucoup et auront tr\u00e8s peu, sinon rien du tout. Bush est li\u00e9 par un Congr\u00e8s qui va se r\u00e9v\u00e9ler tr\u00e8s protectionniste, et il a d’autres domaines (l’Irak) que le commerce et d’hypoth\u00e9tiques meilleures relations avec l’UE o\u00f9 il tentera d’obtenir quelque chose du Congr\u00e8s. Il ne va certainement pas user son influence tr\u00e8s affaiblie au Congr\u00e8s pour un accord avec l’UE.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00abMerkel had been expected to try to enlist Bush’s support in putting together a sweeping initiative to harmonize American and European legislation to increase trade and investment. Our economic systems are based on the same values, she told The Financial Times this week. We must watch out that we do not drift apart, but instead come closer together.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbSome Germans favor a trans-Atlantic free-trade area as a sort of NATO for the economy, a counterweight to China’s growing economic might and perhaps a backstop should the Doha Round of global trade liberalization talks fail. But after her talk with Bush, Merkel said that while both sides wanted to cooperate on Doha, the window of opportunity we have on that is closing fast.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t()<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t\u00bbBush, for his part, did not mention the idea of a common market but spoke far more positively of the global trade talks. We’re committed to the Doha Round, he said. The president said that he and Merkel had had a good, frank discussion usually diplomatic language for disagreement and that while it would be difficult, I believe we can get a deal done on Doha.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tL’essentiel de ces relations commerciales USA-UE, Merkel ou pas Merkel, est r\u00e9sum\u00e9 par ce constat, qui concerne Doha mais, d’une fa\u00e7on plus g\u00e9n\u00e9rale, donne le ton pour tout le reste qui concerne les relations commerciales (dans ce cas avec l’Europe) : \u00abThe president’s authority to negotiate trade agreements without detailed Congressional involvement expires this year, making complex trade accords less likely.<\/em>\u00bb Tout, en effet, dans ce domaine-l\u00e0 qui n’est pas l’essentiel pour Bush, reposera sur le Congr\u00e8s. Et le Congr\u00e8s est, cette ann\u00e9e, ultra-protectionniste.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Les Allemands prennent la pr\u00e9sidence de l’UE (depuis le 1er janvier 2007) et la pr\u00e9sidence du G8 (pour 2007) avec beaucoup d’ambitions d\u00e9sordonn\u00e9es.
