The European Parliament's delegation for relations with Japan welcomed on Tuesday, September 15, Mr Hosuk Lee-Makiyama, an expert on the Far East and EU Free Trade Agreements. During the hour-long discussion, Mr Lee Makiyama highlighted the potential benefits of the EU and Japan's Free Trade agreement. He asserted that the positive effect on EU’s GDP could be even greater than that of TTIP.
Petr Ježek, Chair of the European Parliament Delegation, stated after the meeting: “I am glad that Mr Lee-Makiyama emphasised the importance of the EU's FTA with Japan. Japan is a key strategic partner for Europe and his comments reinforce the necessity for a comprehensive agreement to be reached by both sides.”
