In 2010, ASEAN marked record-high automobile

production and sales volumes. Indeed, ASEAN represents

one of the fastest-growing production bases and

automobile markets in the world. Japanese auto

manufacturers achieved a total production of 2,712,132

units, sold 2,071,858, and exported 922,599 units. These

activities were supported by 103,460 direct employees at

65 JAMA member factories and facilities in addition to an

even greater number of workers in related industries.

Building on this progress, further improvements in

competitiveness will be essential in helping the ASEAN

automobile industry achieve continued growth. Enhanced

market integration will be especially vital. Building on the

AFTA, in May 2010 the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement

(ATIGA) entered into force, allowing free movement of

goods within ASEAN as well as introducing new policies

not yet su�ciently speci�ed within the existing AFTA-CEPT,

including elimination of nontari� measures, trade

facilitation, Rules of Origin re�nements, and the

establishment of provisions on standards, technical

regulations and conformity assessment procedures. ATIGA

is anticipated to contribute signi�cantly to the realization

of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) by 2015.

Within the AEC context, promoting harmonization and

mutual recognition of automotive technical standards is an

important issue for the automobile industry. ASEAN has

devoted a great deal of attention to the establishment of

the ASEAN Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) ,

anticipated in 2012. Concepts like the Single Window

System (enhancing simpli�cation of customs procedures)

and a pilot project covering self-declaration of origin have

been highlighted as important topics and are currently

being discussed. Beyond looking forward to future

progress on these important matters, JAMA continues to

actively cooperate towards the goal of enhanced market

integration.

In conclusion, on behalf of the Japanese automobile

industry, JAMA would like to thank the governments and

the people of ASEAN countries for their heart-warming

support and thoughtful messages regarding the Great

East Japan earthquake that took place in March this year.

Supply chain disruptions caused by this major disaster not

only a�ected the Japanese automobile industry, but that

of ASEAN as well. Thankfully, the a�ected industries are

making speedy recoveries due to the hard work of

everyone involved. Throughout this earthquake disaster,

we, the Japanese automobile industry, have been

reassured of the deep KIZUNA, or bond, obtaining

between ASEAN and Japan.

We deeply cherish this bond, and will continue to make

ever-greater e�orts towards further deepening the

partnership between ASEAN and Japan.

JAMA Technical Experts Working Together with ASEAN Partners Towards More Comprehensive Certi�cation 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-certi�cation.

JAMA has been putting in great e�ort 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 Govern-ment 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 13th AAF/TC3-JAMA Meeting in November 2010. As ASEAN seeks to make use of the 1958 Agreement’s UNECE regulations in the development of its own MRA for parts and systems, such information will be valuable to ASEAN members should they expand their MRA to whole vehicles in future.

Safety and Environmental Regulations

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

Although ASEAN governments aim to adopt the UNECE 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 UNECE regulations, JAMA experts have worked to provide information to industry associations and authorities through the presentation of updated studies on UNECE regulations suitable for adoption within ASEAN.

Based on such studies, the AAF/TC3 has presented an updated roadmap for the adoption of UNECE Regulations. Based on the outcome of the 12th ACCSQ-APWG held in Manila last November, thirteen regulations from Step 1 and 2 of the roadmap have been agreed to by ASEAN Members States (AMSs) for adoption by 2015. Two other regulations from Step 2 are under consideration by AMSs as well. 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 expected to be �nalized in 2012 and speci�c recommendations on versions of the 19 UNECE regulations to be adopted under the ASEAN MRA Draft.

Environment (Exhaust Emissions and Fuel Properties)

To promote air quality improvement in ASEAN countries, JAMA fuel experts have drafted speci�cations for Euro 4 fuels along with biofuel speci�cations for both ethanol and FAME4 that take into consideration Southeast Asian climates and vehicle usage. In March 2010, these speci�cations were discussed and endorsed by AAF/TC3 members in the form of the AAF/TC3 Fuel Specs. In the same Meeting, AAF/TC3 members agreed to work towards promoting the adoption of Euro 4 emission regulations by 2016 and the availability of Euro 4 fuels in the market prior to this date. To assist with campaigns in each ASEAN member country intended to promote the AAF/TC3 Fuel Specs, JAMA experts have joined with local technical experts of each AAF/TC3 member association, visiting respective authorities and stakehold-ers in order to explain and promote the Fuel Specs. For instance, in June and July 2011 JAMA experts joined automotive association members in the Philippines and Malaysia to seek support from oil industry representatives and concerned authorities. Oil industry participants and authorities from both Philippines and Malaysia have all agreed to consider adoption of the AAF Fuel Specs.

Supporting Trade Liberalization and Investment

JAMA advocates the establishment of economic partnership agreements (EPAs) with ASEAN countries and the region as a whole. It is

believed that such agreements will e�ectively complement multilateral trade, investment liberalization, and other trade agendas

under the World Trade Organization (WTO).

The government of Japan has already concluded bilateral EPAs with Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Philippines and

Vietnam. Furthermore, a multilateral EPA with ASEAN as a whole has also been signed as well.

JAMA is con�dent that expanded trade and investment between Japan and ASEAN countries as facilitated by EPAs will strengthen

the inter-relationships with these countries and thereby promote the further development of ASEAN’s automotive sector as a whole.

So far, through collaborations, information exchange and understanding the needs of each party with concerned parties, JAMA has

been able to work towards achieving the agreed terms under the EPA for automobile industry sector. Where necessary, JAMA will also

engage in activities that will further enhance the content and convenience of the Agreement.

Promoting Regional Integration

Strengthening international competitiveness is necessary for the development of the ASEAN automotive industry. To achieve this, it

is important to remove tari� and non-tari� barriers, and integrate ASEAN as a single market. Owing to the sincere e�orts by the

governments of ASEAN, the ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) was �nally established in 2010 by ASEAN 6, and signi�cant progress has

been made in regional integration towards the creation of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC).

As a part of its e�orts to support the strengthening of the competitiveness of the ASEAN automotive industry and regional integra-

tion, JAMA has been participating in the AEM-METI Economic and Industrial Cooperation Committee Working Group on Automobile

Industry (AMEICC-WGAI) meetings since its inception in 1998.

Since then, under a co-operative regional policy known as the AMEICC Automobile Initiative, JAMA has been contributing actively in

the promotion of regional integration and competitiveness of the automotive industrial sector in ASEAN. The Initiative also includes

the improvement of ASEAN Industrial Cooperation (AICO) and Common E�ective Preferential Tari� (CEPT) schemes that contribute to

the successful realization of AFTA today.

Although tari� barriers have �nally been removed from ASEAN 6 with the establishment of AFTA, to further promote the competitive-

ness of ASEAN’s automobile industry, JAMA feels that there are three more important aspects that need to work in order to enhance

further regional integration:

1. Harmonization of technical regulations and promotion of Mutual Recognition of Approval.

2. Improvements in fuel properties and harmonization of fuel speci�cations.

3. Strengthening of supporting industries and human resources and others.

JAMA will continue to work towards achieving these objectives pro-actively.

Promoting the ASEAN MRA and Global Mutual Recognition of Whole Vehicle Type Approvals

Recent years have seen increasing 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. In order to best respond to these demands, continued harmonization of worldwide standards for vehicles and parts as well as the advancement of the ASEAN Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) agreement between regional importers and exporters are becoming increasingly 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 127 standards (UNECE Regulations) already developed under its auspices. In addition, further e�orts towards global harmonization and mutual recognition are currently being undertaken within the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (UNECE/WP29). As part of its plans for achieving economic integration by 2015, ASEAN is currently working toward establishing an ASEAN MRA to promote harmonization and mutual recognition of motor vehicles within the ASEAN region. This arrangement will initially target mutual ASEAN recognition of 19 UNECE regulations set forth in the 1958 Agreement.

As part of intensifying e�orts toward global harmonization and mutual recognition, the Japanese government submitted a proposal for an "International Whole Vehicle Type Approval (IWVTA)” system at the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe / World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (UNECE/WP29) March 2010 meeting, where it was agreed to by member countries.

This proposal was based on the 1958 Agreement, also known as the "Agreement Concerning the Mutual Recognition of Type Approvals for Wheeled Vehicles, Equipment, etc.,” and advances mutual recognition, currently at the equipment and parts level, to approval of the “whole vehicle.” A concrete roadmap for IWVTA infrastructure development will be determined at the November 2011 UNECE/WP29 meeting.

Promotion of harmonization and mutual recognition will facilitate the manufacture of safe, environmentally friendly vehicles and strengthen international competitiveness in ASEAN countries where the growth of motorization is substantial. In view of this, JAMA seeks to actively cooperate in e�orts to establish the ASEAN MRA.
