Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda attended a Ministerial Meeting on the Project to Ensure the People's Security at the Prime Minister's Official Residence.
Discussion is being held with the purpose of conducting a comprehensive review of policies from the viewpoint of the consumers and the people, and identifying the direction in which the policies should advance, given the series of incidents that have taken place in recent years, which created great concern among the people, including falsification of earthquake-resistance data and false labeling of food products. At the meeting, the Ministers in attendance approved "The Project to Ensure the People's Security: Emergency Concrete Measures," a set of measures to be taken in the five key areas that form the basis of the people's lives - "eat," "work," "create," "protect," and "live." Prime Minister Fukuda said in his concluding address that, " In order for the people to go about their daily lives with a sense of safety and security, those in the administration must change their perspectives, and see things from the point of view of the consumer and the people, to make the people's safety and security the top priority task. I ask each and every one of the Ministers here today to continue to make special efforts to that end, while heeding the people's voices, toward the conclusion of the discussion next spring." The Prime Minister instructed the Ministers to steadfastly implement the concrete measures that were approved at the meeting. |
