MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT
FROM:

THROUGH: CHRISS WINSTON CW
RE:
STATEMENT FOLLOWING DELORS MEETING
I. SUMMARY
On Tuesday, May 30, at 1:15 p.m., you are meeting with
Jacques Delors, President of the European Communities. The
meeting will take place at EC headquarters.
II. DISCUSSION
Following the greeting, which will include only you and
President Delors, a bilateral meeting will begin between top
American and EC officials.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: STATEMENT FOLLOWING DELORS MEETING
BRUSSELS, BELGIUM
MAY 30, 1989
I am pleased to have had this opportunity to meet with
President Delors and to discuss the important changes underway in
Europe. As one of the chief architects of European integration,
President Delors has been a driving force in the European
Community's advance towards a single market in 1992.
American support for a free, prosperous integrated Europe is
of long standing, dating from the days of World War II and the
Marshall Plan. As Alliance partners and as trading partners, we
believe that a united Europe -- one that shares a common
commitment to democracy and, to human rights and to the power of
individual initiative -- is a source of strength. We believe a
strong Europe means a strong America and a strong and growing
ifree
commonwealth of nations.
The fundamental fact of 1992 is that Europe understands its
future lies with free and open trade. We welcome 1992 and are
confident that the creation of a single European market will
advance liberal trade and prosperity worldwide. All of us have
our own economic interests -- all of us know that the pressures
for protectionism can be great. But all of us recognize that the
ultimate outcome of protectionist policies is stunted growth and
reduced standards of living. A free and flourishing global
economy is the key to growth.
Today is a time of significant change in international
affairs. The ideas of freedom, democracy and free enterprise are
on the march -- in the nations of Eastern Europe, in the Soviet
Union, and elsewhere around the globe. As both an example and as
an increasingly active player on issues of global importance, the
EC can exert enormous influence to advance these positive trends.
We will continue to consult closely with the European
Community. And I look forward to renewing the discussions we've
begun here today, with Commission President Delors and with the
leaders of European Community member governments in the months
ahead.
Thank you.

Suggested Presidential Remarks
Following Meeting With EC Commission President Delors
I am pleased to have had this opportunity to meet with
President Delors and discuss the important changes underway in
Europe. President Delors himself has been in the forefront of
the dramatic process of quickening the pace of European
integration and seeking to complete the European Community's
Stowards a funly common market
single market by January 1993.
Amuican support for
European integration her is long. stunding,
The United States has consistently supported the process of
European integration ever since the Marshall Plan. We continue
dading from the days of
to believe that a united Europe which shares our values, our
commitment to democracy and human rights makes for a stronger
Atlantic Alliance as well as a more prosperous and vibrant
market and trading partner.
We are confident that the end result, as your European own leaders
assured me
have told us, will be an open, non-protectionist Europe. all The
pressure for protectionism can be great but we must all resist
the teamt
will watch the details of how you implement
your sing

These are exciting times with changes underway in Eastern
Europe and the Soviet Union, and indeed around the globe.
Democracy and free enterprise are on the march. The Community
is an increasingly active player in many of the most important
issues of common interest to us such as debt, development and
the environment. Together, we and the EC can exert an enormous
for good
and positive influence on these trends. I look forward to
continuing close consultations with the European Community on
these events starting with President Delors' visit to
Washington, June 14.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS:
STATEMENT FOLLOWING DELORS MEETING
BRUSSELS, BELGIUM
MAY 30, 1989
I am pleased to have had this opportunity. to meet with
President Delors and discuss the important changes underway in
Europe. As one of the chief architects of European integration,
President Delors has been a driving force in the European
Community's advance towards a single market in 1992.
American support for an integrated Europe is long-standing,
dating from the days of the Marshall Plan. As Alliance partners
and trading partners, we believe that a united Europe -- one that
shares a common commitment to democracy and the rights of the
individual -- is a source of strength.
The fundamental fact of 1992 is that Europe understands its
future lies with free and open trade. We are confident that the
creation of a single European market will advance free trade
worldwide. All of us have our own commercial interests -- all of
us know that the pressures for protectionism can be great. But
all of us must recognize that the ultimate outcome of
protectionist policies is stunted growth and sluggish
development. A free and flourishing global economy is the key to
growth.
Today is a time of significant change in international
affairs. The ideas of freedom, democracy and free enterprise are
on the march -- in the nations of Eastern Europe, in the Soviet
Union, and elsewhere around the globe. As an increasingly active
player in issues of global importance, the EC can exert enormous
influence to advance these positive trends.
I look forward to continuing close consultations with the
European Community, and to renewing the discussions we've begun
here today, when President Delors visits Washington just a few
weeks from now.
Thank you.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: STATEMENT FOLLOWING DELORS MEETING

I am pleased to have had this opportunity to meet with
President Delors and to discuss the important changes underway in
Europe. As one of the chief architects of European integration,
President Delors has been a driving force in the European
Community's advance towards a single market in 1992.
American support for a free, prosperous integrated Europe is
of long standing, dating from the days of World War II and the
Marshall Plan. As Alliance partners and as trading partners, we
believe that a united Europe -- one that shares a common
commitment to democracy and, to human rights and to the power of
individual initiative -- is a source of strength. We believe a
strong Europe means a strong America and a strong and growing
commonwealth of free nations.
The fundamental fact of 1992 is that Europe understands its
future lies with free and open trade. We welcome 1992 and are
confident that the creation of a single European market will
advance liberal trade and prosperity worldwide. All of us have
our own economic interests -- all of us know that the pressures
for protectionism can be great. But all of us recognize that the
ultimate outcome of protectionist policies is stunted growth and
reduced standards of living. A free and flourishing global
economy is the key to growth.
Today is a time of significant change in international
affairs. The ideas of freedom, democracy and free enterprise are
on the march -- in the nations of Eastern Europe, in the Soviet
Union, and elsewhere around the globe. As both an example and as
an increasingly active player on issues of global importance, the
EC can exert enormous influence to advance these positive trends.
We will continue to consult closely with the European
Community. And I look forward to renewing the discussions we've
begun here today, with Commission President Delors and with the
leaders of European Community member governments in the months
ahead.
Thank you.

AMERICAN SUPPORT FOR A FREE, PROSPEROUS INTEGRATED
EUROPE IS OF LONG STANDING, DATING FROM THE DAYS OF
WORLD WAR II AND THE MARSHALL PLAN. As ALLIANCE
PARTNERS AND AS TRADING PARTNERS, WE BELIEVE THAT A
UNITED EUROPE --- ONE THAT SHARES A COMMON COMMITMENT TO
DEMOCRACY AND, TO HUMAN RIGHTS AND TO THE POWER OF
INDIVIDUAL INITIATIVE -- IS A SOURCE OF STRENGTH. WE
BELIEVE A STRONG EUROPE MEANS A STRONG AMERICA AND A
STRONG AND GROWING COMMONWEALTH OF FREE NATIONS.
- 3 -
THE FUNDAMENTAL FACT OF 1992 IS THAT EUROPE
UNDERSTANDS ITS FUTURE LIES WITH FREE AND OPEN TRADE.
WE WELCOME 1992 AND ARE CONFIDENT THAT THE CREATION OF
A SINGLE EUROPEAN MARKET WILL ADVANCE LIBERAL TRADE AND
PROSPERITY WORLDWIDE. ALL OF US HAVE OUR OWN ECONOMIC
INTERESTS -- ALL OF US KNOW THAT THE PRESSURES FOR
PROTECTIONISM CAN BE GREAT.
