Contents
Meeting for Transatlantic Relations
The meeting for transatlantic relations is co-organised by the Foundazione Magna Carta and the American Enterprise Institute. President Gaetano Quagliariello describes the meeting as his foundations "main institutional event"[2]. The 2008 meeting in Washington was hosted by Italian defence contractor Finmeccanica"[3]. Quagliarirello describes the American Enterprise Institute as "one of the oldest and most prestigious think-tanks in Washington, the landmark of the neo-conservative school of thought"[4].
Political Outlook
The political outlook of the Foundation is summed up by Gaetano Quagarello:
- "We stand united in the name of a special bond between Europe and the U.S., and between the West and Israel; we are willing to resort to military intervention in order to defend and promote democracy, to fight the threat of international terrorism and to maintain security in the world. We believe on strict limitations to be imposed upon the dialogue with terrorist groups and their supporters, and we assert the need of a strong opposition against Iran and its nuclear ambitions. We are against unconditional acceptance of U.N. rhetoric, and we believe that all Europeanisms should be divested of their ideological meaning""[5].
