Following a warning issued in May 2006 by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry regarding an application for authorization to export certain products to Taiwan, Toray and Toray International immediately established the Security Trade Administration Countermeasures Division and the Security Trade Administration Department. These new organizational entities were created to form the basis of a framework for administering exports via third countries, three-country transactions, and imports by overseas affiliates in response to increasingly strict domestic and international regulations. Other FY 2006 initiatives saw the Group conducting training for all offices and plants, surveying relevant divisions and departments, and providing guidance in implementing improvements. We also continued to build organizational frameworks for Japanese and overseas subsidiaries and affiliates that handle listed (controlled) substances and provide relevant training.
