"I wish to add my support for the Commission proposal for a free-trade agreement with Japan, known as an important trade and political partner of the Union and one of the world’s biggest economies. In addition, the Commission’s relevant studies show that such an agreement would increase bilateral trade, with gains of EUR 43 billion for the Union, and EUR 53 billion for Japan. We must, however, ensure that the agreement addresses non-tariff barriers and I appreciate the commitment of our Japanese partners in resolving this matter through internal measures and reforms. To cite a recent article in the by former Prime Minister Hatoyama, the current leader of the Japanese delegation to the European Parliament, the European Union and Japan can form a single market. We share the Japanese opinion in this sense and a common vision on the global markets. The free trade agreement would further strengthen our cooperation. The real benefits of this agreement – exports, job creation, increased growth and competitiveness of the European Union – would most certainly outweigh the preventable challenges, which we should tackle sooner rather than later."@en1
