We now have an important EU-Japan Summit, to be held in July, and will obviously be reflecting closely inside the Commission, and with Member States, on how to take this forward. Obviously, as close partners, we should not lose sight of the importance of the bilateral economic dimension to our relationship. From our side, for example, we want to see continued progress on regulatory reform, and improvements in market access and in the climate for foreign investors. Doubtless the Japanese side will continue to have points they will wish to raise with us, too. But this is the sign of a maturing political relationship.
Real friendship can survive full and frank discussions from time to time.
I promised I would not speak for too long, and I must stick to that. But I am happy to take questions.
