Cecilia Malmström, EU trade commissioner, made the statement after her meeting between Washington’s top trade representative Robert Lighthizer and Hiroshige Seko, Japan’s minister of trade and industry, on Saturday failed to provide clarity on how countries can apply for carve outs. She said discussions will continue next week with US authorities.
