1) JAMA Annual Reception: Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the 
launch of the partnership with the European Union

On 3 July 2006, JAMA held its eleventh annual reception in the 
historical setting of the Royal Museum of Art and History.  
The reception was hosted by JAMA's new chairman since May 2006, 
Mr Fujio Cho, who is also chairman of Toyota Motor Corporation.


2) Two Decades of Contribution to the Competitiveness of the 
European Auto Industry

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the start of Japanese 
automakers' production activities in Europe with the 'greenfield'
launch of manufacturing operations in the United Kingdom in 1986.  
Over the past two decades, JAMA member companies have invested 
14.8 billion euro in European production and R&D facilities, in the 
belief that automobiles should be built where they are sold in order 
to best meet local consumer needs.


3) Tokyo Motor Show 2007

2007.  The 'new-style comprehensive show' will cover the whole 
automotive range of passenger cars, motorcycles, commercial 
vehicles, commercial vehicle bodies, and vehicle parts.


4) Car Trends in Japan - Essay by Peter Nunn

survey to do just that.
