Paragraph 11, eighth indent a (new)

With regard to the car sector, the mandate should specify that the following non- tariff trade barriers in particular must be removed: - Japan is called upon to recognise EU type approvals on the basis of the UNECE regulations on vehicles and vehicle parts. In return, the EU will recognise the Japanese approval as being equivalent. Japan should accept the UNECE regulations that are open for signature and develop this system further in collaboration with the EU; - Specific innovations for environmentally friendly vehicles should not be based solely on the JC08 cycle, and vehicles complying with EU approval and EU CO2 legislation must also be eligible for incentives; - Japan must ensure that there are no longer any competition-distorting restrictions on European suppliers in relation to establishing or expanding showrooms and/or garages. Corresponding regulations at various levels should be amended.
