15 JAMA Members’ Recent

Activities in ASEAN

Established in 1967, the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc. (JAMA) is a nonprofit industry association currently comprised of fourteen manufacturers of passenger cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles in Japan.

The globalization of auto manufacturing contributes significantly to local and national economies around the world. As directions in auto manufacturing increasingly influence the world we live in, JAMA takes its role and mission ever more seriously, acting not only to promote increased environmental protection and greater road safety but also to enhance the international business environment.

Objectives

To promote the sound development of the automobile industry and contribute to social and economic welfare.

Activities

• Conducts studies and surveys related to automobile production, distribution, trade and use.

• Assists in the rationalization of automobile production, and helps establish policy for the development, improvement and promotion of production technology.

• Establishes and promotes policies related to automobile trade and international exchange.

• Engages in public interest, international cooperation and other activities involved in meeting its organizational objectives.

ASEAN has achieved a high economic growth rate in recent years,

with automobile production and sales volumes reaching a record

high in 2012. Japanese automotive manufacturers attained a

total production of 3.74 million units (a 45% increase from last

year), sales of 2.92 million units (a 38% year-on-year increase) and

exports of one million units, representing a 36% increase over the

last year’s figures. In view of this favorable trend, JAMA member

companies have been making active investments in ASEAN,

bringing the combined number of factories and facilities to 71.

The number of direct employees also increased 14% over last year,

reaching approximately 145,000.

In order to attain sustainable growth in the automotive industry,

as well as other industries in the region, an ASEAN-centered

economic integration agreement, the Regional Comprehensive

Economic Partnership (RCEP) was proposed, with official

negotiations beginning in late 2012. The realization of RCEP1 will

leverage the strength of a population of 3.4 billion, accounting

for approximately half of the world’s population, with a total

GDP reaching approximately one third of the global, or 20 trillion

dollars. The creation of such an immense economic bloc is

expected to bring significant benefits. ASEAN economic growth

plays an important role in RCEP, and in order to ensure its success,

it will be necessary to ensure the firm establishment of the ASEAN

Economic Community (AEC).

Hand in Hand Towards a New ASEAN-JAPAN Friendship and Cooperation

Although just two years remain before the 2015 establishment of

the AEC, and the elimination of tariffs among six ASEAN countries

was executed in 2010 under AFTA. However, the elimination of

Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs), trade facilitation, simplification of rules

of origin, evaluation of standards vis-à-vis technical regulations,

and conformity assessment procedures remained important issues.

Negotiations on these issues are underway among members. For

the automotive industry in particular, it is hoped that the self-

certification of origins currently being considered will be endorsed,

promoting trade facilitation.

On the technical front, JAMA hopes that the ASEAN Mutual

Recognition Arrangement (MRA) for automotive technical

regulations will be practiced within an international framework

that will lead to the adoption of International Whole Vehicle Type

Approval (IWVTA), expected to be introduced in 2016 across ASEAN.

The history of cooperation between Japanese automotive

manufacturers and local partners spans half a century, and this

partnership has contributed to the development of the automotive

industry and economic growth within ASEAN. In 2013, ASEAN and

Japan will mark their 40th Year of ASEAN-Japan Friendship and

Cooperation. While further strengthening of cooperation is much

anticipated, JAMA wishes to strengthen mutual dependence within

the automotive industry, driving growth “hand in hand” for ever-

greater mutual development.

1 RCEP is an ASEAN-centered proposal for a regional FTA with countries already holding existing FTAs – Australia, China, India, Japan, Republic of Korea and New Zealand.

JAMA Technical Experts Working Together with ASEAN Partners Towards More Comprehensive Certification Systems and Safety / Environmental Regulations

Harmonization of Technical Regulations and Mutual Recognition of Approval (MRA)

To further promote auto industry development, JAMA advocates the harmonization of technical regulations and Mutual Recognition of Approval (MRA) based on the United Nations WP29 (World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations) 1958 Agreement, the only international agreement providing a legal basis for auto parts and systems. Under MRA, contracting parties agree to mutually recognize each other’s approvals without the need for re-certification.

JAMA has been putting in great effort to promote the 1958 Agreement in concert with

the Japanese Government in the past decade through the AAF/TC3-JAMA Meeting1, Asian RACE meeting, JASIC Asia Government and Industry Meeting2, ACCSQ-APWG Meeting3, as well as others. In 2006, Thailand and Malaysia successfully acceded to the 1958 Agreement, and other ASEAN countries have started to form national committees to work towards accession.

In anticipation of the worldwide trend heralded by the 1958 Agreement’s extension of MRA from auto parts/systems to whole vehicles, in collaboration with the Japanese Government, JAMA has been promoting the concept of International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA) during WP29 discussions. JAMA experts provided discussion updates for ASEAN industry members during the 18th AAF/TC3-JAMA Meeting held in Luangprabang in February 2013; updates included deliberation on revising the 1958 agreement in order to facilitate recognition of certificates constituted by older versions of technical regulations, review of voting systems, and plans for submitting the IWVTA proposal to WP29 in November 2013, with expected IWVTA completion in March 2016.

Given that the ASEAN MRA technical regulations for auto-parts and systems (to be established in 2015) are nearly substantial enough to facilitate an MRA for entire vehicles (similar to the IWVTA), JAMA experts are encouraging ASEAN members to consider participation in IWVTA Informal Group discussions and work in parallel towards a MRA for whole vehicles.

Safety and Environmental Regulations

The development of harmonized certification systems in turn requires the harmonization of vehicle safety and environmental regulations.

Although ASEAN governments aim to adopt the UN Regulations annexed to the 1958 Agreement as a basis for harmonizing safety regulations, some regulations may be unsuitable for the ASEAN climate and thus require review. In view of assisting countries in their adoption of UN Regulations, JAMA experts have worked to provide information to industry associations and authorities through the presentation of updated studies on UN Regulations suitable for adoption within ASEAN.

Based on such studies, the AAF/TC3 has presented an updated roadmap for the adoption of UN Regulations to the 12th ACCSQ-APWG held in Manila in 2010. In addition to this, during the July 2011 AAF/TC3-JAMA Special Meeting, JAMA experts provided ASEAN automobile industry members with general recommendations regarding the ASEAN MRA Draft and specific recommendations on versions of UN Regulations to be adopted under the ASEAN MRA Draft. Furthermore, in the February 2013 Luangprabang Meeting, with the help of JAMA experts, AAF/TC3 members consolidated an industry perspective on an ideal ASEAN MRA for submission to the ACCSQ-APWG and respective authorities for consideration.

Environment (Exhaust Emissions and Fuel Properties)

To promote air quality improvement in ASEAN countries, JAMA fuel experts have drafted specifications for Euro 4 fuels along with biofuel specifications for both ethanol and FAME4 that take into consideration Southeast Asian climates and vehicle usage. In March 2010, these specifications were discussed and endorsed by AAF/TC3 members in the form of the AAF/TC3 Fuel Specs. Although some fuel-related issues remain, in April 2012 AAF/TC3 members agreed to work towards expediting the adoption of Euro 4 emission regulations by 2012 - 2017 for all passenger cars and light duty vehicles and the availability of Euro 4 fuels in the market prior to this date.

Promoting Regional Integration

Strengthening international competitiveness is necessary for further future development of the ASEAN automotive industry. For this, removal of tariff and non-tariff barriers, as well as the integration of ASEAN as a single market, will become necessary.

ASEAN continues to execute its ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint towards the goal of establishing the AEC by 2015. The Blueprint aims to create: (1) a single market and production base, (2) strongly competitive regional development, (3) equitable economic development, and (4) enhanced integration with the global economy. These efforts are making steady progress through actions such as the enactment of ATIGA.

With the overall goal of strengthening the competitiveness of the ASEAN automotive industry, JAMA has been participating in AEM-METI1 Economic and Industrial Cooperation Committee Working Group on the Automobile Industry (AMEICC-WGAI) meetings, starting from the group’s inception in 1998. With aims of bolstering regional integration, enhancing supporting industries, and ultimately strengthening the competitiveness of the ASEAN automotive industry, this WG has been implementing programs such as the Experts Dispatch Program, sending Japanese experts to assist local auto parts suppliers in developing manufacturing technology, improving production and

quality control, and strengthening human resource development. The success of this program has enhanced prospects for increased international competitiveness within the ASEAN automotive industry. JAMA will continue to work diligently to support the activities of this WG.

At the 14th AMEICC-WGAI held in March 2013, exchange of information and opinions concerning the latest status and future issues with respect to the implementation of Self-Certification of Origin by authorized exporters, establishment of suitable policies and procedures, harmonization of technical regulations, and market integration.

JAMA considers there to be four issues of prime importance as regards strengthening the competitiveness of the ASEAN automotive industry and further promoting regional integration, as follows:

• Further promotion of trade facilitation (establishment of flexible and user-friendly Rules of Origin and certification systems, simplification of customs procedures),

• Harmonization of technical regulations and promotion of Mutual Recognition of Approval,

• Improvements in fuel properties and harmonization of fuel specifications, and

• Strengthening of supporting industries, human resources and other related matters.

JAMA is dedicated to continuing to take proactive measures to enhance international competitiveness of the ASEAN automotive industry and regional integration, including activities such as participation in AMEICC-WGAI.

Promoting Trade and Investment Liberalization

As trade and investment liberalization promotes further enhancement of the competitiveness of the ASEAN automotive industry, JAMA has advocated for the establishment of economic partnership agreement (EPA) between ASEAN and Japan. JAMA has promoted cooperative projects under the EPA, further enhancing competitiveness.

Moreover, with respect to trade and investment liberalization in the APEC region, JAMA has been attending the APEC Automotive Dialogue2, participating significantly in its activities. JAMA reported progress in the WP29 discussions for the establishment of International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA), as well as contributed to the promotion of trade and investment liberalization and the harmonization of technical regulations.

Through these activities, JAMA will continue to contribute to further enhancement of the competitiveness of ASEAN-centered trade and investment liberalization in the Asian region.

1 ASEAN Economic Ministers-Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (Japan)2 Seeking to promote wider use of motor vehicles in society and support the mutual growth of the automotive industry in the Asia-Pacific region, the APEC Automotive Dialogue serves as a

forum for member economy officials and senior industry representatives from the automotive sector to discuss key issues. Results of the APEC AD will be reported to the Committee on Trade and Investment (CTI) under the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting.

The societal demands on automobile performance aimed at addressing global warming and air pollution issues as well as enhancing safety for passengers and pedestrians on a global scale have seen increasing. In order to best respond to these demands, continued harmonization of regulations for vehicles and parts that differ between countries as well as the promotion of the mutual worldwide recognition of motor vehicles and parts are becoming more and more important.

In 1958, an agreement on world-wide harmonization of technical regulations for automobiles and mutual recognition of approval of vehicle structures and equipment relating to safety and the environment was adopted by the United Nations (known as the “1958 Agreement”). At present, 57 countries and one region have acceded to the Agreement, with 131 UN regulations already developed under its auspices. In addition, further efforts towards global harmonization and mutual recognition are currently being undertaken within the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (UN/WP29). As part of its plans for achieving economic integration by 2015, ASEAN is currently working toward establishing the ASEAN Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) to promote harmonization and mutual recognition of motor vehicle technical regulations within the ASEAN region by 2013. This arrangement will initially target mutual ASEAN recognition of 19 UN regulations set forth in the 1958 Agreement.

The following key benefits of the ASEAN MRA are expected to contribute to strengthen the competitiveness of the ASEAN automotive industry:

• Promoting safer, more environmentally friendly vehicles and parts.

• Simplifying certification procedures.

• Strengthening automotive industry competitiveness through the use of mutually complementary parts and components.

• Promotion of ASEAN exports beyond the ASEAN region.

• Speedier sourcing of substitute parts and components during natural disasters.

As part of its intensifying efforts toward international harmonization and mutual recognition, the Japanese government submitted a proposal for an “International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA)” system at the UN/WP29 March 2010 meeting, where it was agreed to by member countries. Implementation of the proposal (targeted for 2016) is currently under discussion.

IWVTA, originally based on a 1958 Agreement, advances mutual recognition from the equipment and parts level to approval of the “whole vehicle”. As IWVTA related efforts move towards the establishment of a common international system, we look forward to ASEAN participation within this framework.

Promotion of harmonization and mutual recognition will facilitate bringing safer, more environmentally friendly vehicles to market and will strengthen international competitiveness in ASEAN countries where the growth of motorization is substantial. In view of this, JAMA seeks to actively cooperate in efforts to establish the ASEAN MRA.
