The TPN Mission
Building Tomorrow's Partnership Today

The Transatlantic Policy Network (TPN) is a non-governmental network firmly rooted in the worlds of business and politics, but also open to administrators and academics on both sides of the Atlantic .

Its mission statement is built on four central purposes, to:

• help to define the transatlantic relationship in the post-Cold War world and to promote the closest possible partnership between the governments and peoples of the European Union and the United States to ensure global security, economic growth and stability and the enhancement of democratic values;
  
  
• use dialogue, debate and study to help both transatlantic partners to adjust to new challenges and opportunities, to identify their common interests and to minimise actual or potential misunderstandings between governments and between business and governments;
  
  
• look beyond current issues towards new structures and forms of cooperation between the European Union and the United States;
  
  
• work creatively and effectively through the network with other institutions and organisations with complementary purposes
