The EU agri-food chain partners welcomes the ratification of the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement by the European Parliament’ Plenary

The EU agri-food chain partners, COPA and COGECA, CELCAA and FoodDrinkEurope, which have been supportive of the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) negotiations since the start of the talks in 2013, welcome today’s positive vote by Members of the European Parliament and now look forward to the swift implementation of this EPA.

Following the approval of the EU-Japan EPA by the Japanese Diet (National Parliament) on 8 December, today’s consent by the European Parliament clears the way for this historic agreement to enter into force early next year.
