lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I do not entirely share the optimism of the majority of my colleagues. Indeed, I fear that we are going too fast. Japan is without doubt a major trading partner for the European Union, but is it a partner that we can fully trust today? For decades, the Japanese closed their market to us via ever more numerous and original non-tariff barriers. With a view to concluding a free trade agreement with the European Union, Japan promised to remove many of these, but its words were not always followed by actions. Before opening difficult negotiations on a free trade agreement, I would have liked us to be certain that a large number of non-tariff barriers had indeed been removed, so that we could be sure of the willingness and capacity of our partner to play ball. We are going too fast and we are once again going to begin negotiations that will not come to anything, as was the case with India and Mercosur. I do not understand why we are persisting with Japan, when some of its neighbours have shown themselves to be altogether more open to the European Union, such as Taiwan, which is also an important partner for the Asian region."@en1
