free trade agreement with south korea with up to 33 billion euros with eu exporters we have to do the same with latin america, canada, the middle east. we have the goods the worldments to buy. we have to have the confidence to get out there and sell them. that's one final thing. in europe we should have more confidence about our values. the value of liberal democracy used to be sacred in the west, and now some people are dicing it. they see authoritarian capitalism and the way it works. they see political leaders with power just forcing decisions through, and some argue that against this are little demographic values that are dated or ineffective, almost an obstacle to success. i completely disagree. it is these values that create the climate for innovation. look at where the big ideas come from, the facebooks, the vast majorities are from open societies like ours. that's because good ideas come through freedom, free thinking, free association of like-minded people. values also create the right climate for business too. if you are looking to set up a aheadquarters abroad, will you up

standing ready to be implemented, and if we don't do it, what's going to happen? both the eu and canada and other nations are putting their free trade agreements in, and they'll take the business we'd like to have. the administration must work urgently with the new congress to improve the south korea and columbia and panama agreements. we will pull out all the stops we can to help the administration get the votes to pass these bills. we also strongly support the transpacific negotiations to expand trade with some of the fastest growing asian countries. that's where our opportunities are, and let's not overlook america's largest commercial partner, the e.u.. this month i'll be travels to dublin and brussels and switzerland. one key objective is to advance the idea of simply eliminating all tariffs on goods in the $600 billion trade relationship. an independent study found that doing this would increase transatlantic trade by more than $100 billion in the next few years. we think it could also jump start global trade negotiations and set the stage for similar agreements with other
