"I voted in favour of launching negotiations with Japan on the free trade agreement. It is crucial for the EU to comprehensively deepen its economic and trade relationship with this country, which is one of the most economically influential in the world. This cooperation is particularly urgent in the light of the ongoing economic crisis, high unemployment rates and poor growth projections in the EU. Bilateral trading volume with Japan is dramatically lower than with other partners such as the USA, China and Russia. A free trade agreement would create favourable conditions for trade, and once non-tariff barriers are removed, EU exports to Japan could rise by about 70 %. In order to take advantage of the huge potential of the EU-Japanese commercial relationship, it is important for the Japanese Government to commit to dismantling non-tariff trade barriers. I also support the proposals for concessions on public procurement that would guarantee market access for European companies in strategic Japanese sectors. I agree that an effective dispute resolution mechanism should be established to combat the development of new non-tariff trade barriers and obstacles to market access in public procurement in Japan."@en1
