    DELEGATION FOR RELATIONS WITH JAPAN th 28 EP/JAPAN INTERPARLIAMENTARY MEETING 28 May – 1 June 2007 in Tôkyô and Hokkaido REPORT The Delegation for relations with Japan visited Japan from 28 May – 1 June 2007, under the leadership of Georg JARZEMBOWSKI (EPP-ED), Chairman of the Delegation.1 It held the 28th EP/Japan Interparliamentary Meeting at the National Diet of Japan in Tôkyô and met Prime Minister Shinzo ABE as well as Defence Minister Fumio KYUMA. This visit took place at a time when the global recession affected Japan with a particular intensity, given the country's dependency on exports. At the same time, the political climate was troubled, with an ailing government a few weeks or months ahead of a general election, but with an opposition party in an equally difficult position with the public opinion. More immediately, the visit followed immediately the G20 Summit in London, and North Korea had just launched a rocket (claimed to be a satellite launch, but identical to a long- range ballistic missile) the parts of which had landed in the Japan Sea, in breach of the UN sanctions resolutions. PARLIAMENT The Speaker The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Yohei Kono, explained that the Diet was actively involved in the process to reform the constitution, relying in particular on examples taken from EU and EU Member states' experience. The requirement of a referendum was a new concept in Japan. Mr Nakayama explained the electoral rules to be specifically implemented for the referendum, in particular the prohibition of commercial style advertisement in the last two weeks Mr Jarzembowski asked which topics were of most interest to the citizens in Japan, mentioning climate change as main concern in Europe.
