". I voted for this important resolution on negotiations on the EU-Japan free trade agreement. I am pleased that the European Parliament has adopted this resolution by a large majority, which shows how important it is to develop trade between Japan and the EU, the potential of which has not yet been realised to the benefit of EU businesses, workers and consumers, mainly due to the impact of Japanese non-tariff barriers on market access opportunities for European businesses. If this policy was implemented successfully, the European Union would gain about 420 000 new jobs, while European exports to Japan would rise by 30 %. This is particularly urgent in the light of high unemployment rates and poor growth projections in the EU. I agree with the rapporteur that the Japanese Government should reconfirm at the onset of formal negotiations of an EU-Japan FTA its commitments with regard to removing non-tariff barriers to trade (NTBs). It is important to ensure that if, during the negotiations, Japan does not demonstrate sufficient ambition in meeting the EU’s priority demands, the Commission should suspend negotiations after consultations with Parliament and the Council."@en1
