Det må der med få undtagelser siges at være, når vi taler om Japan, men jeg anerkender Japans ret til f.eks. at beskytte sit rismarked, at beskytte sine risbønder, at betale sine bønder en højere pris end verdensmarkedspriserne og at sige nej til massiv import, der ville udslette Japans bondebefolkning, på samme måde som jeg anerkender vores medlemsstaters ret til at beskytte visse sektorer i deres erhvervsliv.
That is pretty much the case in many areas with Japan, but I recognise Japan's right, for instance, to protect its rice market, to protects its rice farmers, to pay its farmers higher prices than those on world markets and to say no to massive imports which would obliterate its peasant farmer population, in the same way that I recognise our economies' rights to protect certain sectors of their activity.
