		The Keidanren is planning to publish the Charter in its various publications and materials in order to ensure that the Charter remains always in the sight of the members.

		One former senior Keidanren executive agrees with the organization internal reckoning that "90 percent" of all of its members support extensive structural reform.
		Keidanren was established to help rebuild a war-ravaged industrial base, and quickly became allied with the conservative spectrum of political parties.
		Keidanren's primary role was to funnel political funds from their member businesses to the ruling party.

		Indonesia\'s largest investor, Japan, renewed calls for the government to improve the investment climate, reiterating that fears of a lack of security, unruly labors and legal uncertainties were preventing the yen from coming here.
		Keidanren is Japan\'s most powerful business lobby -- in a country that is the largest source of private investment and official loans to Indonesia.
		In this light, the Keidanren visit to Jakarta may signal that another wind is blowing in favor of Indonesia.

	Internet Law and Policy Forum - Events
		Keidanren regards e-commerce as an important vehicle for promoting structural changes and as a promising source of new opportunities.
		In July 1999, Keidanren compiled proposals and recommendations for the promotion of e-commerce, which were distributed to workshop participants.
		With this background, ILPF has been active with respect to legal and policy aspects, and Keidanren is fortunate to be able to jointly sponsor this event with them.

		Keidanren, the most representative Japanese business coalition with over 1000 members (including Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Sony, Sakura Bank and Nippon Steel Corporation), has also been active pushing for the MAI.
		As Japan and South Korea are the only Asian OECD members, Keidanren's main goal is to sign as many developing countries as possible on to the MAI.
		Although generally pleased with MAI developments, Keidanren is disappointed that two of its main objectives -- taxation and key personnel (which allows special privileges for corporate staff) -- have been carved out of the agreement.

	29/3/2004 -- Environment tax can work
		Keidanren noted that it had set its own fiscal 2010 targets for reducing carbon-dioxide emissions generated by the industrial and energy-conversion sectors below 1990 levels, and was pushing a voluntary program to achieve the goal.
		Keidanren said the tax proposed by the environment ministry had five problems.
		Third, Nippon Keidanren argued, energy taxes are already too high, with a low price elasticity for energy demand; thus the environment tax would not have much effect in curbing CO2 emissions.

		From now on, Keidanren is likely to continue questioning the wisdom of having the pact enforced without the participation of the United States, which tops the list of major emission-discharging countries.
		Keidanren's mainstream leadership consists of top executives in these sectors, meaning Keidanren will remain the main opponent to greenhouse gas reduction.
		As Keidanren had been a major advocate for voluntary reduction efforts, the ministry's policy shift toward the business world's stance served to thwart objections that Keidanren could have raised.

	The Changing Face of NGOs in Japan
		Keidanren Nature Conservation Fund - Keidanren, a leading business organization in Japan, established its Nature Conservation Fund in 1992 to support foreign and domestic NGOs carrying out nature conservation projects in developing countries.
		The Keidanren fund is one of several recent efforts by the organization that places it on a different footing with NGOs that criticized it in the late 1960s period of high industrial pollution for putting a higher priority on business interests than on the protection of the environment.
		Concerns about extinction of species and damage to habitats was behind the 1992 Keidanren dispatch of a delegation to the Palau islands to investigate biodiversity and how The Nature Conservancy, an American NGO, had implemented a nature conservation project there.

		Keidanren's report argues that Japan's Constitution shows many signs of fray and suggests a revision of Paragraph 2 of war-renouncing Article 9 to make clear the legality of not only the Self-Defense Forces but also Japan's exercise of the right to collective self-defense.
		Keidanren's latest policy proposals appear to reflect a strategy focused on walking in lock step with the LDP to secure political clout with the ruling party.
		Keidanren should have focused on concrete proposals for these important issues.

	JPRI Working Paper No. 83
		Keidanren was dismayed by the failure of its efforts to introduce reforms.
		Keidanren formed a committee to study the "modernization" of political funding, but advocates of reform were worn down by demands from the politicians.
		After a year, the committee's two main recommendations were a gradual transition from Keidanren's collection of political contribution to firms' making their own contributions and an "increased transparency" by renaming the Citizens' Association the Citizens' Political Association (Kokumin Seiji Kyokai) and publishing the amounts of funds distributed to political organizations.

		Keidanren chairman Takashi Imai, who is also chairman of Nippon Steel, will be appointed honorary chairman.
		Keidanren and Nikkeiren said in January last year they would merge because of the changing times, which made it ''increasingly difficult to deal with labor issues and economic issues separately.''
		Kyodo reported that some critics say the prolonged weakness of Japan's economy is another factor behind the merger because it has made it difficult for companies to pay membership fees to both Keidanren and Nikkeiren and to lend their executives to the two groups.
