"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in May 2011 two of the largest trade areas in the world began negotiations with a view to laying the foundations of a free trade agreement, an ambitious agreement that would significantly deepen existing relations between both powers, strengthening their ties, and would cover issues of great importance, such as the removal of tariffs and tariff barriers. As a result of this agreement, both economies will be more effective and more competitive in a much wider market. The abolition of tariffs and consequent elimination of customs barriers will undoubtedly boost our trade relations. However, the European Union must stand firm and not forget the commitments it has obtained from Japan, such as the promise to remove non-tariff barriers, in particular those affecting sectors such as the automotive industry or the obstacles to market access in public procurement, commitments that must translate into results, which is the prerequisite if the negotiations under way are to achieve their intended goal. This is what the members of the Committee on International Trade stated in their motion for a resolution, which will be put to the vote on Thursday. If these conditions are met, in the case of these two mature economies, Europe and Japan, the future agreement will undoubtedly prove a success for both parties."@en1
