Sidste år underskrev USA's præsident, formanden for Det Europæiske Råd og formanden for Kommissionen en fælles EU-USA-erklæring om at træffe foranstaltninger til at skabe forudsætninger for anerkendelse af USA's Generally Accepted Accounting Principles og IFRS'er på begge økonomiske områder.
Last year, the US President, the President-in-Office of the European Council and the President of the European Commission signed a joint EU-US statement which undertook to promote and to seek to ensure conditions for the US generally accepted accounting principles and the IFRSs to be recognised in both jurisdictions.
