1) JAMA advocates further harmonisation of automotive technical 
regulations

On 28 November 2006 JAMA Executive Vice President Kanji Nakayama 
addressed an audience of senior EU Commission officials and 
representatives from the automobile industry during a high-level 
conference in Brussels on the "Harmonisation of automotive 
technical regulations". 


2) JAMA responds to the June 2006 London Economics report on 
market developments in car retailing and after-sales markets

In June 2006 the technical consultancy London Economics published 
its report on the competition implications of Regulation 
No. 1400/2002, which deals with the distribution and after-sales 
services of new motor vehicles in the EU. In its response, JAMA 
reiterated that its members support a competitive market that 
meets customers' best interests, which include safe products and 
services as well as competitive prices.



3) An "integrated approach" to the reduction of CO2 emissions 
in Japan

JAMA is voluntarily committed to reducing CO2 emissions from new 
passenger cars distributed in the EU to an average of 140g/km by 
2009.  Nevertheless, JAMA emphasises that CO2 reduction in the 
road transport sector requires an "integrated approach", one that 
takes into account greater fuel efficiency, smoother traffic flow, 
and the adoption of eco-driving by vehicle users.  The article 
takes a look at how that approach is being applied in Japan.   


4) Japan's New Wave Sports Cars - Essay by Peter Nunn

Speed, horsepower and eco-friendliness.  Three themes behind the 
sensational new wave of Japanese sports cars set to star in 2007.  
This year promises to be a very special one for new Japanese 
sports cars, perhaps the best in a generation, and the action 
started bright and early at January's Detroit Show and the Tokyo 
Auto Salon.
