EU executive proposes Japan free trade talks despite car manufacturers' protest

A free trade deal with Japan — which has a strong car industry — could boost the EU's economy by 1 percentage point and create 400,000 new jobs, the commissioner said, predicting that it would take about five years to conclude negotiations.
