Dear Colleagues,
I would like to welcome our Japanese colleagues in the European Parliament, who have travelled a very long way so that they could be here with us today. I can assure to our guests that the European Parliament would like to see an even greater cooperation between the European Union and Japan.

Given our very close relationship, this situation is illogical: both Europe and Japan are struggling with low economic growth rates and for this reason our politicians must act, so that our economies are given a new impetus. It is necessary for us to promote economic cooperation, to create new jobs, and to make our countries economically stronger. In fact, nothing superhuman is required of us to make this happen. All that is required of us is political courage to make the necessary decisions. Turpini lasīt »

Trieciena viļņi, ko radīja padomju impērijas sabrukums, joprojām pēc 20 gadiem atskaņojas Eiropā un pasaulē. Turpini lasīt »
