". − There is no doubt that the commencement of a parallel negotiation process on the subject of a binding understanding covering global political cooperation, and particularly as regards a free trade agreement between EU Member States and Japan, was a significant event for the European Union in 2011. After China and the USA, the European Union is the third-largest trading partner of Japan, whereas Japan is the sixth-largest trading partner for the EU. The value of the bilateral trade turnover for the first 10 months of 2011 was around USD 145.2 billion. The EU is also the second-largest investor in Japan (USD 175 billion), whereas Japan is the third-largest investor in the EU (USD 75 billion). There are some 3 300 companies operating in the EU with some involvement of Japanese capital, and these provide employment for around 400 000 people. With the above data in mind, I am convinced that the potential for cooperation between Japan and the EU in the trade and investment sphere continues to be under-utilised, particularly since, when all is said and done, this trade between the two markets should be a factor stimulating waning economic growth, and not the opposite. Attention should therefore be focussed both on factors that could currently retard commercial and economic cooperation between the two countries, and on factors which could stimulate such commercial exchange."@en1
