The Japanese market will be duty-free for Europe

Japan is the world’s largest importer of pork, and the Americans have a strong interest in its market. Thanks to the now-finalized Economic Partnership Agreement, Europe can finally overtake its rival on the Japanese meat market – agrarszektor.hu wrote.
