    自動車リサイクル

    委員会:
    自動車
    進捗:
    新規

    自動車リサイクルにおける再生プラスチックの利用が検討されており、自動車が対象商品となった場合、利用計画や定期報告、再生プラスチックの利用義務が課せられること等への対応を検討する必要がある。欧州でも昨年、ELV規則案が示され、自動車由来を含む再生プラスチックの利用義務化が検討されている。

    Sustainable aviation fuel

    委員会:
    Airlines
    進捗:
    新規

    Japan, similar to many other countries, has announced that by 2030 airliners are required to use at least 10% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). There are, however, concerns that there will not be enough supply in Japan to fulfil this requirement.

    Access to aviation fuel

    委員会:
    Airlines
    進捗:
    新規

    Aviation fuel is typically procured at the point of departure, including in Japan. However, recent changes have led to a reduction in the number of fuel suppliers, creating challenges for airlines in securing adequate aviation fuel. This issue has emerged amid a surge in inbound traffic to Japan, driven by a significant increase in tourism. In response, the Government of Japan has acknowledged the problem and announced measures to mitigate the situation. These include utilizing spare tankers to transport fuel from storage facilities to airports and increasing aviation fuel imports. To address the issue sustainably, the EBC calls for further structural reforms to ensure long-term stability in aviation fuel supply.

    麦芽および関税割当制度

    委員会:
    食品・農業
    進捗:
    解決済み

    日本はEPA以前からも麦芽に関税割当制度を設けており、EU産麦芽には割当が導入されている。しかし、ビール自体を製造するか、特定の醸造所の使用に限って輸入する企業のみが割当を申請することが認められており、少量または短時間で複数の顧客に販売するために自社で輸入を希望する業者を差別していた。EBCとEUによる多年にわたる取り組みの後、2021年後半にはこれが改善され、EU起源の多種多様なモルトを少量でも供給できるように、クラフト・ビール市場の繁盛のために、またビール以外のユーザーのために、輸入業者への門戸が開かれた。しかし、管理上の負担は残っており、割当が十分に活用されておらず、すべての適格割当申請が付与されていることを考えると、これは合理的ではない。

    Airport infrastructure

    委員会:
    Transportation & Communications
    進捗:
    解決済み

    The EBC encourages the continued opening up of HND airport slots. In addition, improved “on or near airport” facilities, including for catering and cargo are needed. The new air corridor at HND will enable a reduction in fuel consumption through a more direct approach, which will have a positive impact on the environment.

    委員会全体の問題
    進捗:
    解決済み

    EBCは、日本国民のCovid-19の拡大を食い止めるための日本政府の取り組みを十分に理解し、支援する。しかし、欧州企業は、日本企業やその他の外国企業と同様、海外から必要な人材を引き入れることができなかったために、何ヶ月も苦しんできた。このことは、技術者、研究者、医療関係者などのスペシャリストにとっても、経営トップの役職にある者にとっても当てはまる。
