The TPN Network
One That Pays Dividends

TPN has been created to promote a strong and stable partnership between the US and Europe, to influence its priorities and help to drive its development. It is a transatlantic "network of networks" whose membership is a unique blend of business, political and academic experience.

CORPORATE MEMBERS join because they need the political and economic stability and freedom which the Transatlantic Partnership helps to secure around the world. Any weakening in the effectiveness of the Partnership may jeopardize the interests of their companies and, ultimately, their shareholders, employees and customers.

MEMBERS OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE US CONGRESS join to help shape goals for the Partnership, share information, facilitate agreement across the Atlantic and avoid potential conflict. They believe that very little of real value can be accomplished in global politics and economics unless Europe and the United States work together.

ACADEMICS, THINK-TANKS AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS join the network to participate in shaping policy through discussion and debate with leaders of politics and business on the two sides of the Atlantic.

All members, be they businessmen, politicians or academics, confirm that inside the "network of networks" they can:

• hammer out a common view of what should be the economic and political priorities of the Transatlantic Partnership;



• contribute to debate and study that looks beyond today's issues towards transatlantic solutions for tomorrow's problems;



• exchange their views and coordinate their actions with policymakers who are senior and influential;



• be better informed about what is happening in transatlantic relations and better able to prepare for the unpredictable.
