"The resolution on EU trade negotiations with Japan was adopted by a large majority. The purpose of this resolution was to debate the appropriateness of launching negotiations on a free trade agreement with Japan. Faced with the new challenges presented by globalisation, most MEPs consider it essential for the EU to deepen its trade relations with the major world economies, in particular Japan, in order to make maximum use of jobs and growth potential under the Europe 2020 strategy. However, I very much regret that negotiations on a free trade agreement have been opened now. In my view, we are still going too fast. Furthermore, like the negotiations with India and Mercosur, these negotiations may never lead anywhere. Japan is, it is true, a major trading partner for the European Union but the question is whether we may completely trust it. Before launching ourselves into such negotiations, we should have waited for concrete signs of goodwill on the Japanese side. It must be noted that it has still not done away with a significant number of non-tariff barriers and technical obstacles to trade that make its market difficult to penetrate."@en1
