Most interviewees perceived a pan-Atlantic space taking shape or at least they expressed their desire that it could emerge would be happening. They saw a movement towards cooperation especially in economics and security. Many suggestions were made on how to stimulate the creation of a pan-Atlantic space by those who did not forseen a pan-Atlantic taking shape yet or whom believed it is still a very insignificant movement.
