"The crisis the European Union (EU) faces obliges the European institutions to take advantage of all investment opportunities that promote Europe’s economic growth and help create more jobs. With this in mind, the trading potential of a country like Japan cannot be underestimated, as it is necessary to develop and strengthen bilateral trade relations. The potential for trade relations between the EU and Japan is enormous and is underexploited. Nevertheless, this Free Trade Agreement (FTA) must safeguard the interests of the European economy, chiefly with regard to certain sectors that could be affected. In return, we must demand that Japan should eliminate non-tariff barriers, allow European businesses to bid for public contracts and undertake to respect the values of the EU as regards human rights. The Parties have agreed on a timetable and a roadmap with stages to be fulfilled. The conditions are therefore met for starting negotiations with great prospects of success. I voted in favour of this motion for a resolution on the FTA with Japan as it represents a major opportunity to help the EU’s economy to develop."@en1
