The European Union is the world's most successful invention for advancing peace.

We can demonstrate, by our own example, how E.U. freedoms, including the freedom of nationals of other E.U. countries to come and work here, has enabled us to expand our economy.

U.S. companies rely on the European market for more than half of their global foreign profits.

U.S. companies earn more from their investments in the EU than in the rest of the world combined.

The U.S. - E.U. economic relationship dwarfs America's economic ties with China.

The time horizon may be too long for sole reliance on market solutions - but perhaps the inventiveness of the financial services industry will prove me wrong that point!
