I showed my thoughts.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications has responded to the problem that satellite broadcasting related company "Tohokushinsha" and "Fuji Media Holdings", which owns Fuji TV, have been revealed to have violated foreign capital regulations in the past. We held the first meeting of the Council of Experts to examine the ideal way of foreign capital regulation online.
At the beginning, Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Takeda said, "The examination of foreign capital regulations is a system in which a solid check function does not work, and violations should occur. Foreign capital regulations are important regulations related to security, and the system We need to do a good job of designing. "
After that, "We will improve the examination system, such as changing to a system that can surely grasp the foreign capital ratio, and carefully consider how to deal with violations of regulations and what foreign capital regulations should be in the information and communication field. It is necessary to proceed with the examination. "
At the meeting of experts, we have decided to put together a proposal that includes countermeasures, and based on this, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications would like to submit the bill necessary for the ordinary Diet session next year.
