(What a Change of Power means: Creating a New Japan) As a result of the general elections held in August, Japan has realized a change of power. The birth of a new Administration is a chance to resolve longstanding problems and build a New Japan. With the mandate given us by the people of Japan, we will overcome entrenched interests and undertake policies that will truly benefit the people as a whole. The new Administration has promised to restore a sense of security to the daily lives of the Japanese people. We must rebuild trust in the social safety net and secure employment. Japan needs a strategy to create new demand, both domestic and external, and ensure sustainable mid- to long-term growth. (A New "Growth Strategy": Further Opening Up Japan) A central pillar of that strategy is to open up Japan further to the world while at the same time stimulating domestic consumption, so as to make Japan more attractive to people, goods and money around the world. Through this, Japan will facilitate the growth and integration of the economies of the Asia-Pacific, and grow together with the region as a whole. Next year, Japan will develop a growth strategy for the Asia-Pacific as the chair of APEC. The two strategies will operate in tandem to secure growth in this region. To revitalize the world economy, we have to conclude the Doha Round and strengthen the multilateral trade system. This is the foundation for the growth strategies for both Japan and the Asia-Pacific region. (Trade as the Engine of Development) The Doha Round is a Development Round. In Asia, nations at various stages of development have increased the competitiveness of their manufacturing sectors through a division of labor within the region, and have followed each other onto a path of self sustaining development. For the future of the world economy, we need to see developing countries, not only in Asia but throughout the globe, enter this growth trajectory. Trade is the engine to achieve this. As the Doha Round stalls, free trade agreements are being concluded with countries that have strong growth potential and large domestic markets. Less developed countries tend to be left behind. It is my hope that all developing counties actively participate in maintaining and strengthening the multilateral trade system. Japans One Village, One Product Initiative has assisted the development and marketing of goods from developing countries. We will continue our active efforts to help developing countries believe in the benefits of trade. (Taking Stock of the ϲʹϒs Activities: (1) Monitoring Trade Policies) The ϲʹ has three main missions. The first is monitoring trade policies. Since the financial and economic crisis erupted last year, the world has been fortunate not to suffer a chain reaction of protectionism as in the 1930s. With high unemployment all over the world, however, there are many cases, even today, of buy local provisions in government procurement and of trade remedies being applied too readily. I highly appreciate the fact that the ϲʹ has dissuaded many Members from taking protectionist measures through its surveillance of trade policies. I hope the ϲʹ will maintain its vigilance, and call on Members and observers to refrain from protectionist measures and to rectify those already in place. ( (2) Administrating the Dispute Settlement System) The second role of the ϲʹ is to administer the dispute settlement system. Just a few weeks ago, the 400th case since the establishment of the ϲʹ dispute settlement system in 1995 was submitted. At the outset, the developed countries were the main users of this system, but today, developing countries are using it in increasing numbers too. In the past, Japan has seen power politics dictate the way many trade disputes were handled. Today, resolving disputes in accordance with established rules, without unduly politicizing them, has become the accepted practice. Japan welcomes whole-heartedly the high reputation that this system has secured. This system, however, can easily lose its effectiveness if its findings are not respected by Members. All Members have a duty to implement decisions promptly, even if they are unfavorable to themselves. ((3) Advancing Trade Rounds) For the past few years, Members have been expending a vast amount of their energy into the third aspect of the ϲʹ, that is, the multilateral negotiations to liberalize trade. Unfortunately, the Doha Round has not yet reached the finish line. We must all strive further to achieve an early conclusion. This Round will bring the benefits of growth and development through trade liberalization to all 153 Members of the ϲʹ. It will improve market access by reducing or removing tariff and non-tariff barriers and liberalizing trade in services. It will also strengthen trade rules, reinforcing the free trade system. In this regard, I am keen to make anti-dumping disciplines stricter and more effective. The Doha Round includes negotiations on the liberalization of environmental goods and services. This will help spread products and technologies that reduce the environmental load, and is a vital part of combating climate change. I would like to stress that liberalizing trade in energy efficient products is especially effective in this regard. Some like-minded nations, including Japan, are considering conducting discussions with a view to achieving an early agreement to liberalize trade in environmental goods. I hope that other interested Members will join these discussions, and provide fresh impetus to the Round as a whole. With momentum building to advance climate change policies, we must show, through concrete actions, that trade is an important part of policies to combat climate change. (The Future of the ϲʹ: Evolving in Step with the World Economy) Lastly, I will touch upon mid- to long-term issues beyond the Doha Round. Nearly 15 years have passed since the ϲʹ was established. During that time, great changes have occurred in the world, such as the evolution of globalization, the growth in importance of climate change policies, and the rise of the emerging nations. (Harmonizing Domestic Regulations) Globalization has changed business activities in a profound way. In the past, entering foreign markets meant exporting goods and services. Today, globalization has reached a new stage, with the greater and more active movement of people and direct investment by companies providing goods and services. To better deal with these circumstances, we must not only reduce barriers at the border, but also harmonize domestic regulatory systems that affect the movement of people and direct investment. At times, regulations can become obstacles in unexpected ways. For instance, business alliances have been halted by the competition authorities of a third country. In order to facilitate the smooth international operation of firms, domestic regulatory frameworks should be coordinated to a greater extent, while leaving room for states to pursue different national policies based on their different circumstances. It may seem that harmonization of widely differing domestic regulation schemes could be more realistically pursued through bilateral FTAs or as part of regional integration than with the 153 Members of the ϲʹ at once. The ultimate goal, however, is the removal of barriers to trade and investment in the whole world. The ϲʹ should actively shape discussions concerning investment and competition policy. (Trade and Environment) Next week, key meetings on the climate change negotiations will begin in Copenhagen. As the minster responsible for industry and energy as well as trade, I am deeply involved in those negotiations, too. As climate change policies begin to have a real impact on the international competitive environment, we must ensure that there is no proliferation of protectionism under the guise of protecting the environment. At the same time, we must avoid a flood of trade disputes from arising due to uncertainty as to which measures are allowed to protect the environment, and which are not. The ϲʹ must refine the rules in the area of Trade and Environment. (Sharing Responsibility between Developed and Developing Countries) The third great change is the rise of the emerging nations. The days when the principal developed countries could establish the framework of international negotiations by themselves are over. Negotiations have become even more complicated than before. Whether we look at the Doha Round or the climate change negotiations, a common theme is what responsibilities the emerging economies will shoulder to match their increasing presence on the world stage. Global media coverage tends to focus on the confrontation between developed countries, with weakening economies and a tendency to turn inwards, and the emerging countries, that wish to avoid any greater international burden as much as possible. If we can, however, keep in sight our common goal of realizing a better future, we should be able to conclude these difficult negotiations. The key lies in a shared sense of responsibility among developed and developing nations. Without concluding the Doha Round, there is little hope of establishing an agreement on new issues.0Recalling the common objective of finalizing the DDA in 2010, I would 8:<>jl   Y [ l n Źգՙzrgr^rrr^rRrh%:h%:CJ H*aJ hkCJ aJ o(hhkCJ aJ hjntCJ aJ hhCJ H*aJ o(hCJ aJ o(hkCJ aJ hkCJ PJaJ h&CJ PJQJaJ h&CJ PJaJ hkCJ PJQJaJ h%:h%:CJ PJQJaJ o(hjntCJ PJQJaJ h%:h%:CJ H*PJQJaJ h~*h6[CJ PJQJaJ <>l m n  5 7 k $d7$8$G$H$YD2a$gd0T$1$a$$Hdh7$8$G$H$YDd`Ha$gd0T dG$YD2gd0T HdG$`Hgd i $dG$a$gd dG$gdX $dG$a$gdX\]n o s v w Z [ \ e f   !  4 5 7 : µ¨ŽƒxoxoxoxcWh)hCJ PJQJaJ h&CJ PJQJaJ hcCJ aJ o(h%:h%:CJ aJ h~*hCJ aJ hCJ PJQJaJ o(h.uOh.uOCJ PJaJ h.uOhjntCJ PJaJ hcCJ PJQJaJ o(hjntCJ PJQJaJ hkCJ aJ hjntCJ aJ h0pCJ aJ o(hcCJ aJ hCJ aJ o(hCJ aJ ": ; O Q R Y b i j k -4@NYcٽzzznazzUHhGCJ PJQJaJ o(h~*CJ PJQJaJ hGCJ aJ mH o(sH h)hCJ aJ mH sH haoCJ aJ mH o(sH hzCJ aJ mH o(sH h)hCJ aJ mH o(sH h)hCJ PJQJaJ o(h~*h~*CJ PJQJaJ h%:h%:CJ PJQJaJ h3CJ PJQJaJ o(hcCJ PJQJaJ o(h)hCJ PJQJaJ h0pCJ PJQJaJ o(cs ]bciyz} %03GH̳vivivivivi`hI=rCJ aJ o(h3CJ aJ mH o(sH hGCJ aJ mH o(sH hI=rCJ aJ mH o(sH hkCJ PJaJ haoCJ aJ mH sH hCJ aJ mH o(sH haoCJ aJ mH o(sH haoCJ PJQJaJ h~*CJ PJQJaJ hGCJ PJQJaJ o(h/CJ PJQJaJ o(haoCJ PJQJaJ o($k zIn;]@p$Fdh7$8$G$H$WDYDd`Fa$gd0T$0d7$8$G$H$WDYD2^0`a$gd0T$d7$8$G$H$YD2a$gd0T$Hdh7$8$G$H$YDd`Ha$gd0THImnxy %&89W[_bkr:;HIƺƺƭƭƭzznzhkCJ PJQJaJ he FCJ PJQJaJ hGCJ PJQJaJ o(he FCJ PJQJaJ o(hkCJ PJQJaJ o(h3CJ PJQJaJ o(hI=rCJ PJQJaJ hI=rCJ PJQJaJ o(h ih3CJ aJ h3CJ aJ h3CJ aJ o(hI=rCJ aJ o(hkCJ aJ +IUVZ[`a  (1@HP];<>E\]^nuxoxhCJ aJ o(hCCJ aJ o(hkCJ PJaJ hGCJ PJaJ o(hzCJ PJaJ o(h[CJ PJaJ h[CJ PJaJ o(h3CJ PJaJ o(he FCJ PJaJ o(hkCJ PJQJaJ hGCJ PJQJaJ o(hHC CJ PJQJaJ o(he FCJ PJQJaJ o()uvy+5:DFGQfstw$>?@nr枕槕槞|hhLCJ aJ hGCJ aJ hCJ aJ o(hICJ aJ o(hhLCJ aJ o(hGCJ aJ o(hkCJ aJ h~$7CJ aJ o(hkCJ PJaJ h3CJ aJ o(hzCJ aJ o(h1/cCJ aJ o(hCCJ aJ o(h0pCJ aJ o(hCCJ aJ 0rvw} %'1PX^noprstvº˲xpxgxhICJ aJ o(h~$7CJ aJ h~$7CJ aJ o(hXCJ PJaJ hGCJ PJQJaJ o(hzCJ PJQJaJ o(h1/cCJ PJQJaJ o(hkCJ aJ h1/cCJ aJ h1/cCJ aJ o(hhLCJ aJ o(hGCJ aJ o(hzkCJ aJ o(hCCJ aJ o(hzCJ aJ o(hCCJ aJ $ +78?@JKQY]f 7JKWY ,-.;BlǨǠǨǏǠhzkCJ aJ o(hCJ aJ o(hCJ aJ h\"HCJ aJ hRXjCJ aJ o(hXhkCJ PJaJ hGCJ aJ o(h\"HCJ aJ o(h~$7CJ aJ h%:h%:CJ H*aJ h~$7CJ aJ o(hzCJ aJ o(h<CJ aJ o(1.E0O 9!}""#viv dG$YD2gd0TFdhG$WDYDd`Fgd0T$d1$YD2a$gd0T$Fdh7$8$G$H$WDYDd`Fa$gd0T$d7$8$G$H$YD2a$gd0T$@dh7$8$G$H$WDYDd`@a$gd0T$Cdh7$8$G$H$WDYDd`Ca$gd0T  .4@[CDEUZ5CDNZ˾˾رر}tttthYI CJ aJ o(h%:CJ aJ hsACJ aJ o(hCJ aJ h\"HCJ aJ o(hICJ aJ o(hzkCJ aJ o(h0pCJ PJQJaJ o(hlhCJ PJQJaJ o(hzCJ PJQJaJ o(hCJ PJQJaJ o(hkCJ aJ hCJ aJ o(hCJ aJ o(,Z\dg~FMsw/0HITYZ`k  ( . 6 F M N O !!%!0!8!9!¹ퟨ䗟䆟|hkCJ PJaJ hy(CJ aJ hsACJ aJ o(hXCJ aJ hlhCJ aJ o(h<CJ aJ o(hkCJ aJ hzCJ aJ o(hzCJ aJ hrCJ aJ o(h iCJ aJ hCJ aJ o(hpCJ aJ o(hzkCJ aJ o(h>CJ aJ o(/9!S!e!l!r!}!~!!!""&"-"/"|"}"""""2#?#D#Q#W#_#b#s#z########J$U$$$$$$$$$$$$¹䖍ʹӹ乖|hsACJ aJ o(h@&CJ aJ hCJ aJ o(h0pCJ aJ o(h0pCJ aJ h8tCJ aJ hkCJ PJaJ h8tCJ aJ o(hkCJ aJ hrCJ aJ o(h#CJ aJ o(h@gCJ aJ hzkCJ aJ o(hlhCJ aJ o(h@gCJ aJ o(0#$/&''(l**+z,o-.\\\\\G$$Cd1$WD`Ca$gdg$dh1$YDda$gd0T$Fdh1$WDYDd`Fa$gd0T$d1$YD2a$gd0T@dhG$WDYDd`@gd0TCdhG$WDYDd`Cgd0T$$$$%A%w%%%%%%&&&-&.&/&A&Q&W&b&k&}&~&&&&&&''-'['m'p'u'|''''''''''''۹۱۹~h0>CJ PJQJaJ o(hvCJ PJQJaJ o(hkCJ PJQJaJ hOCJ PJQJaJ o(h0pCJ aJ hkCJ aJ hzkCJ aJ hzCJ aJ o(h0pCJ aJ o(hOCJ aJ o(hzkCJ aJ o(hsACJ aJ o(h8tCJ aJ o(0'''' (("(0(^(d(((((((((")<)?)M)R)z))))))))D*P*S*T*i*j*k*l*n**忲噌،زxkh0>h0>CJ PJaJ h0>CJ aJ hzkCJ PJQJaJ h-8CJ PJQJaJ o(hCJ PJQJaJ o(h\{CJ PJQJaJ hzkCJ PJQJaJ o(hXCJ PJQJaJ o(hvCJ PJQJaJ h0>CJ PJQJaJ o(hvCJ PJQJaJ o(hzCJ PJQJaJ o((*****Z+]+g+h++++++, ,y,z,,,,,,,,,,,,--$-&-+-8-m-n-ڜvvvivvhzCJ PJQJaJ o(h-8CJ PJQJaJ o(hCJ PJQJaJ hCJ PJQJaJ o(hgCJ PJQJaJ hzkCJ PJQJaJ hzkCJ PJQJaJ o(hACJ PJQJaJ o(hkCJ PJQJaJ hvCJ PJQJaJ o(h0>CJ PJQJaJ o(h0>CJ PJQJaJ $n-o-p-q---8.........r/t//0\\R\W\`\v\w\x\並sdTRTdEh;;CJ PJQJaJ o(UhChICJ PJQJaJ o(hChICJ PJQJaJ hICJ PJQJaJ o(hzCJ PJQJaJ o(hACJ PJQJaJ o(hkCJ PJQJaJ #h@&h-8CJ KHPJQJaJ o(#h@&hCJ KHPJQJaJ o(h-8CJ PJQJaJ o(hgCJ PJQJaJ o(hCJ PJQJaJ o(hwhkCJ PJQJaJ like to ask the other Ministers to consider a stock taking exercise in early 2010.
