lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, very briefly, firstly to welcome what we have just heard about the progress on the strategic partnership agreement, but to emphasise that over the summer we are going to have to decide whether we move on to a free trade agreement with Japan. I very much hope that when the Commission does its assessment of the current state of negotiations with Japan it will be able to come forward and say that we should move on and start negotiating a free trade agreement. Japan shares many of our values. It is a market that is very similar to ours, a mature economy with a number of elderly people, significant debt, unfortunately again not unlike us. I think there is a win-win situation in improving trade between Japan and the European Union, but we can only move ahead with a free trade agreement if Japan is serious about tackling non-tariff barriers and actually making it possible for European companies to operate in Japan on the basis of a level playing field. I hope that when we get the assessment that is what it will say: that it is feasible to go ahead and enter into detailed free trade agreement negotiations."@en1
