"President Obama in Europe: A Time for Reassessing Transatlantic Relations"
Thursday, November 18, 2010, 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM, Root Room, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 1779 Massachusetts Ave., NW, Washington, DC
The implementation of the Lisbon Treaty reflects a new phase in the European Union’s evolution as a global actor and key U.S. partner in addressing common challenges. On November 20, President Barack Obama will travel to Lisbon to participate in the first U.S.-EU Summit since the treaty went into effect.
On November 18, the Center on the United States and Europe at Brookings (CUSE), the Heinrich Böll Foundation and Notre Europe will host a discussion previewing the Lisbon Summit and examining the state of the transatlantic partnership. The event will feature Romano Prodi, former president of the European Commission; Etienne Davignon, former vice-president of the European Commission; and Karen Donfried, former executive vice president of the German Marshall Fund. Prodi and Davignon are contributors to a recently published Notre Europe report "Reshaping EU-US Relations: A Concept Paper." The paper is a product of a high-level task force comprised of former European ministers and heads of government and assesses the future of U.S.-EU relations in the age of globalization.
