I wish the EU would revise some of its trade policy so it would be more in line with this deal with Japan.
Lowering tariffs should always be accompanied with commitments to guarantee worker rights are protected and races to the bottom are avoided.
This could be a force for good especially in developing countries that currently compete against each other for the lowest wages.
@physiocrat7143
February 29, 2024 at 8:51 pm
The Japanese consumers who have been the people who are the biggest losers from the Japanese barriers and tariffs. EU consumers lose from the EU tariffs.
