This measure, which follows the Carlos Ghosn affair, would make it possible to avoid too much concentration of powers within the Renault-Nissan alliance.

Nissan appointed committee to correct failed governance in the light of Ghosn case recommends "abolishing the position of chairman of the board of directors", to prevent "concentration of powers", according to a report released Wednesday .

Before his spectacular arrest on November 19 for alleged financial malpractices, Carlos Ghosn chaired both Nissan and Renault, a situation that the Japanese group wants to avoid in the future. The current president of Renault, Jean-Dominique Senard, had indicated in mid-March to renounce to seek the head of Nissan.
