"The European Parliament has been even more in favour of the European Commission opening trade negotiations on establishing a free trade agreement with Japan than the Commission itself is. In view of the repeated requests, the European Commission has, in turn, requested that Japan meet certain conditions for opening up the market, even before starting the negotiations.
At the end of May, in Brussels, representatives of the EU and Japan reached an initial definition of the scope and reach of the negotiations. The Commission is now preparing to propose a mandate for the Council giving the green light for these negotiations. This resolution just calls on the Council not to adopt a position on a negotiating mandate before Parliament has set out its own position. However, it is not hard to imagine what that position will be. Over time, it will become clearer what interests and contradictions are at play in this process. In this case, however, unlike with other countries, the interests of the EU powers and their economic interest groups – such as the German automotive industry – could find in Japan an undesirable competitor rather than good market opportunities. This factor will certainly have a bearing on how the process unfolds."@en1
