"Mr President, Commissioner, in a globalised world, Japan and the European Union are strategic partners with mutual interests. These agreements should be based on mutual trust and mutual responsibility. It takes time to consider an option, but the rate of market penetration in Japan is one of the lowest of all of the industrialised countries: 3 % compared to 30 % in the European Union. Japan must undertake to lower its non-tariff barriers and to remove administrative obstacles to market access in public procurement – such as in respect of leather and footwear – as just one day a year is devoted to public procurement and the quota has not changed since 1996.
There are problems with plant health products, textiles and with the automotive sector. In this agreement, the automotive sector is the main question to be considered, in particular the utility vehicle sector. In Spain, it accounts for 10 % of GDP and 9 % of employment.
Japan therefore needs to work on reducing its tariff barriers, but also on transparency and allowing the European market increased opportunities."@en1
