lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I too want to congratulate you on your excellent English; keep it up. I will try speaking the language of Dante one day, but not yet. The EU and Japan should be proud to cement their partnership in a free trade agreement (FTA). Japan is not only a key European ally and a liberal democracy, but also the third largest economy in the world, with highly advanced systems of production and levels of consumption. As mentioned by my colleague, trade with Japan is massive, generating over EUR 116 billion in combined imports and exports last year. Free trade is, after all, a cornerstone of what the EU is all about for the benefit of manufacturers and consumers alike. We must carry on developing and consolidating these markets, trading opportunities and strategic partnerships wherever we find them, and particularly those with democracies like India and Japan, which will enable us to kick-start economic growth, with this being what is missing on our continent at present. In the 21 years since the first EU-Japan joint declaration was made on trade and other issues, it is clear that political relations between the European Union and Japan have gone from strength to strength. This FTA can only serve to benefit both sides."@en1
