Europe in the near future to deal with the question of the subordination of its economic interests of the United States, said the head of the Department of the state Duma international Affairs Alexei Pushkov.

" Europe is currently anticipated to face not only the challenge to its independence, which it has until not respond adequately, but with a challenge to its economic independence, because the transatlantic agreement on trade and economic relations, which are actively preparing U.S. and European leaders, he will subjugate Europe to the United States in economic terms, and the European consumer will make completely dependent on the American system of standards - from food to the environment, " said Pushkov, speaking at the meeting of the international round table on the problems of falling trust in the European Union.

Economic subjection of Europe to the United States Now is not more important against the background of the Ukrainian fall.

" a little, who says, as Europe becomes a branch of the U.S. not only strategic, but also economic interests. Currently this will create a legal basis, " said Pushkov.

" so, it seems to me that currently there is a battle for Europe or Europe is a branch of the U.S. interests, or it will be the center of decision making in favor of most of Europe, " Pushkov said.
