"I voted in favour of the European Parliament resolution on EU trade negotiations with Japan. I think that for the time being, the Council should not authorise the opening of trade negotiations until Parliament has stated its position on the proposed negotiating mandate on the basis of a report by the Committee on International Trade. This would be pursuant to Rule 90(2) of Parliament’s Rules of Procedure.
Japan’s capacity to remove regulatory barriers to trade is a precondition for launching negotiations on the EU-Japan trade agreement, because this would facilitate closer economic integration between the two strategic trading partners. The report on the state of ongoing work on the scoping exercise reveals the existence of numerous problems, particularly concerning the scope of public procurement for railways, as well as in other areas. Unfortunately, this shows there is a lack of conformity with one of the provisions of last year’s joint resolution – a resolution which points to the need to eliminate non-tariff barriers.
It should also be stressed that a temporary deferral of authorisation for negotiations until Parliament has stated its position on the subject in the form of a report by the Committee on International Trade would be helpful from an institutional point of view because this would strengthen the position of the often marginalised European Parliament."@en1
