"Trade relations between European countries and Japan go back several centuries and have been growing closer since the end of the Second World War.
Japan has been one of the most notable success stories of economic and social recovery in world history, today being a respected country, worthy of admiration. The tragic events that have befallen the country call for our solidarity with our partners. The tenacity and courage that its people have been demonstrating in the face of these difficulties should be inspiring for a Europe which often seems too self-absorbed and is not always sufficiently aware of what is going on beyond its borders.
I believe that both parties would have much to gain from a free trade agreement (FTA) that would strengthen their trade relations and remove barriers which have unjustifiably hindered relations. I regret that such an objective still seems far from becoming reality and I hope Europe and Japan will persevere in their efforts to attain it."@en1
