§ Mr. Peter Rees[pursuant to his reply, 14 February 1982, c. 64]: Japan recently announced a number of tariff reductions, a review of its standards procedures, and export restraint in certain sensitive product sectors. While we welcome these developments, we shall continue to press both bilaterally and through the Commission for further improvements so as to secure a large increase in the level of our exports to Japan and a more equal trading relationship.
