Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs

Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership Agreement: Discussion (Resumed)

3:25 pm

Mr. Pat Ivory:

Prime Minister Abe's new approach, "Abenomics", is a more a open approach from Japan and there is a genuine engagement. Trade negotiations are tough and they will get to a tough stage but I believe there is plenty of potential.
