"Let me also start by conveying, on behalf of the Commission, our fullest admiration, respect and solidarity with the Japanese people. I sent a personal message to Prime Minister Kan immediately after this catastrophic event. I spoke with him again yesterday over the phone to have the latest information on the situation and he told me how grateful he was for the European Union’s solidarity.
Regarding the trade issue, last year’s European Union-Japan Summit agreed to examine the options for how to best to improve our relations. One of the options on the economic side is the possibility of a European Union-Japan FDA. This option will require a considerable degree of ambition on both sides and a willingness to tackle
non-tariff measures and the removal of obstacles that hamper European Union companies’ access to Japan’s market for public procurement. There have been consistent demands from the European Union side in discussions with Japan. I am happy that the European Council has now clarified its position. Yesterday I reaffirmed to the Prime Minister of Japan that we are ready to work with Japan, provided it addresses these matters constructively. He promised me that it would do so in a constructive way, addressing matters of concern also to the European side."@en1
