"It is essential that the EU explore all the possibilities for advantageous business which could offset the economic crisis. The EU and Japan together account for more than a third of global GDP and more than 20 % of world trade. Although bilateral EU-Japan trade is considerably smaller in size than with other countries such as the USA, China and Russia, we can deduce that it is far from reaching its potential. In one of the initial negotiating rounds of the Free Trade Agreement (FTA), the Commission should eliminate non-tariff barriers (NTB) whilst at the same time ensure that an impact study is completed a year after negotiations begin to gauge the noteworthy progress made in cooperation. Assuming that Japan will abolish NTBs and barriers to access to the public procurement market, this FTA should be ambitious and compatible with all trading determinations. If, at any moment, Japan demonstrates a lack of ambition or like-mindedness with regard to the EU’s priorities, the Commission should consult Parliament and the Council so they may suspend the negotiations. I therefore support a trading relationship between the EU and Japan, and am sure that it will have a positive economic impact for both economies."@en1
