EU-Japan EPA β The Agreement in PrincipleJuly 6th, 2017
FiledJuly 6th, 2017This document summarises the negotiating results of the Economic Partnership Agreement between the EU and Japan at the time of the agreement in principle in July 2017. As the agreement in principle does not correspond to the end of the negotiating process, the description of the results achieved should not be considered as final. Some chapters still need some fine-tuning, while for some others some issues are still open and remain to be settled before the actual finalisation of the negotiations. Any agreement referred to in this text is to be considered ad referendum and should not be taken as being in all cases the definitive position of the EU or Japan.
