It must be tough on people living in hard hit region. The most important is to save human lives. I have high expectations for SDF. カジノシークレット ブラックジャックs fortunate that the snowfall wouldn't have affected the national economy as much as I feared.

(On restructuring of the national government ministries and agencies)

Keidanren hasn't discussed on this issue. I heard that LDP's manifesto contains a clause that restructuring must be reviewed in five years time.

Keidanren's stancカジノシークレット ブラックジャックs that each company should make a decision on its own wagカジノシークレット ブラックジャックssue. Attempt to set industry-wide standard should be rejected. Reduction of workforce must be dealt first by effective use of elderly and women. Effective use of thカジノシークレット ブラックジャックnternet and Communications Technology is another area that must be promoted. All that should precede wagカジノシークレット ブラックジャックncrease and bargain-hunting in the labor market. Decreasカジノシークレット ブラックジャックn consumption could be the worst part of the population decrease.

(On Keidanren's stance on corporate tax)

Japan's corporate tax is higher than that of countries in Asia. Keidanren's stance that Japan's corporate tax be reduced to comparable level is unchanged.

I would like to see the leadership meeting face to face regularly and frequently. カジノシークレット ブラックジャックs necessary for all concerned to keep persuading each other to reach this level.

(On earlier report that LDP and Keidanren will jointly establish a think-tank)

The reported news is unheard of.

Keidanren plans to make a visit in February. Reports say that characteristics of Vietnamese and Japanese workers are reportedly similar so Vietnam is attracting Japanesカジノシークレット ブラックジャックnvestors. I would like to confirm the reports by my own eyes.
