Details

The European Parliament adopted by 517 votes to 74 with 89 abstentions a resolution on EU trade negotiations with Japan.

The resolution had been tabled by the EPP, S&D, Greens/EFA and GUE/NGL groups.

It notes that at the 20th EU-Japan Summit held on 28 May 2011 in Brussels, the summit leaders decided that the two sides would start discussions with a view to defining the scope and level of ambition of negotiations on an EU-Japan trade agreement. Parliament asks the Council not to authorise the opening of trade negotiations until Parliament has stated its position on the proposed negotiating mandate, on the basis of a report by the committee responsible.

Details

The Council was informed by the Commission of the results of an EU-Japan "scoping exercise", exploring the prospects for a possible free trade agreement.

It welcomed progress made in the scoping exercise, whilst noting several concerns expressed during the discussion.

The Commission indicated that the scoping exercise had been concluded, and that it would shortly present to the Council a draft mandate and negotiating directives with a view to authorising the Commission to open free trade negotiations with Japan.
