Abstract: The economic relations between the EU and the US are considered the most significant part of the global economy. With the size of trade with goods, services and Foreign Direct Investment, the transatlantic space creates a large of added value. Regarding the proximity and historical ties between the regions, one might expect more efficient cooperation. This is also underlined by relatively low tariff barriers (2-5%). However in recent years, trade regulations have become an increasingly complex issue. The elimination of the divergent regulations is seen as possibly bringing mutual profits. In the light of the persisting economic and debt crisis in Europe, together with slow growth of the US economy, the removal of (non) tariff barriers appeals as a no-pain resolution, which might result in the negotiation of a new trade agreement relatively soon. This paper analyzes current development of the transatlantic economic relations with a focus on concrete steps that have been made with regard to the current debates about deepening economic integration between the EU and the US.
