EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement signed

06-08-2018 - 15:33

At the 25th EU-Japan summit, which took place on 17 July 2018, the EU and Japan signed the Economic Partnership Agreement, the largest bilateral trade agreement ever concluded by the EU and strengthening the economic ties of Japan and the EU, accounting for about 40% of global GDP. It is now up to the European Parliament to have the final say on the comprehensive trade agreement before it enters into force.

The INTA Committee is currently scrutinising the final deal: following INTA hearing held in July, it will hold an exchange of views on the matter at the end of August, with the aim to prepare its draft resolution.

In September, Members of the INTA Committee, led by the Chair Mr Bernd Lange, will travel to Japan for talks with the government, parliamentarians and stakeholders. These discussions will prepare the ground for a vote, on the draft recommendation to plenary and its accompanying resolution, envisaged to take place on 5th November 2018.

Compass with Singapore flag pointing towards trade

The EU-Singapore FTA is a comprehensive agreement covering market access, tariffs, non-tariff barriers, trade facilitation, liberalisation of services, government procurement, sustainable development - upholding labour and environmental standards, protecting intellectual property rights including geographical indications, competition and transparency. INTA Committee held a comprehensive debate on both agreements, as part of the consent procedure.

(Ábhar léitheoireachta)

Singapore dominates the trade with the EU from among ASEAN countries, with a total bilateral trade in goods of €53.3 billion (2017) and in services of €44.4 billion (2016).

There is a substantial stock of bilateral direct investment of €256 billion (2016), which accounts for about two-thirds of total EU -ASEAN investments.

Over 10,000 EU companies are already established in Singapore, using it as a base for regional strategies.
The negotiated agreement eliminates virtually all Singaporean tariffs on EU imports. It also eliminates virtually all EU tariffs on imports from Singapore over 5 years of entry into force. On entry into force of the agreement, 80% of them are to be eliminated.

On behalf of the Parliament, the INTA Committee will continue scrutinizing the process and will hold in-depth exchanges at a committee and monitoring group levels. The work, with Mr ZAHRADIL (ECR, Czech) as a Rapporteur, will be done in order to prepare the European Parliament for a decision about giving a consent to the agreements and taking into consideration Commission's ambitious goal of the FTA entry into force in 2019.

A public hearing concerning the agreements will be organised by INTA on 10/11 October.
