Statements

Date 
2007-03-19 Richard Holbrooke was in Brussels for a closed-door meeting of the Trilateral Commission of business and opinion leaders from the United States, Europe and Asia.
2002-11 “The challenge of the Trilateral Commission – (is) to sketch an alternative future for the entire continent that the people will embrace and the politicians will feel obligated to accept.”
-- Robert Pastor Ph.D., vice president of international affairs, professor of international relations, and director of the Center for North American Studies, American University in Washington, D.C., speech in Toronto entitled “A North American Community -- A Modest Proposal to the Trilateral Commission”
2002-11 Robert Pastor argued that NAFTA should be raised to a new level of cooperation. On this new level, the existing “two bilateral legislative groups” (Parliament and Congress) would be merged into one North American Parliamentary Group. There’d also be a Permanent Court on Trade and Investment -- though he doesn’t say how such a court would stop traditional U.S. contempt for Canadian economic interests (softwood lumber, anyone?) -- as well as a North American Commission to deal with immigration and customs, and propose measures like a continental infrastructure and transportation network, harmonized (sic) regulatory policies, a customs union, and a common currency.
-- Robert Pastor Ph.D., vice president of international affairs, professor of international relations, and director of the Center for North American Studies, American University in Washington, D.C., speech in Toronto entitled “A North American Community -- A Modest Proposal to the Trilateral Commission”
1999-01-03 "The adoption of a common currency is by far the boldest chapter of European integration. Money traditionally has been an integral element of national sovereignty ...and the decision by Germany and France to give up their mark and franc ...represents the most dramatic voluntary surrender of sovereignty in recorded history. The European Central Bank that will manage the euro is a truly supranational institution".
-- C. Fred Bergsten, prominent and core Trilateral Commission member and head of the Institute for International Economics, in the Washington Post
1989-01 “Mr President [= Mikhail Gorbachev], I cannot tell you exactly when it will happen – probably within 15 years – but Europe is going to be a federal state and you have to prepare yourself for that. You have to work out with us, and the European leaders, how you would react to that, how would you allow the other Easteuropean countries to interact with it or how to become a part of it, you have to be prepared.”
-- Valery Giscard D Estaing, in a meeting of the Trilateral Commission with Mikhail Gorbachev
1989-01 A delegation of the Trilateral Commission came to see Gorbachev. It included [former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro] Nakasone, [former French President Valéry] Giscard d’Estaing, [American banker David] Rockefeller and [former US Secretary of State Henry] Kissinger. They had a very nice conversation where they tried to explain to Gorbachev that Soviet Russia had to integrate into the financial institutions of the world, such as Gatt, the IMF and the World Bank.
1973 David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski founded the Trilateral Commission
Peter Sutherland is Trilateral Commission´s European Chairman.
