These active public policy tools are a broad range of things. It's not just vehicle standards. It's also zoning laws and things like that, so it's difficult to establish your dealer network and your parts network. We have a situation in Japan where they're not even willing to acknowledge that they have a problem. In fact, they're countering these suggestions that they have a policy problem that really distorts the automotive market. That in itself suggests that you would have a very difficult time trying to bring about change.
What we need is major change in a short period of time, but also the political will to make sure tat the change is effected. This is the problem, whether it's Japan, or Korea, or even the EU. Standards in the EU, for instance, are less stringent than ours, so is the certification regime. There has to be an acknowledgment, first, that there is a problem. Second, they have to make major changes in a short period of time to demonstrate their willingness to open up their market. This is going to be the biggest challenge associated with this discussion.
The United States, through the 1980s and 1990s, made four different attempts through agreements with Japan to remove this policy environment, which has tended to distort the automotive market. They put the agreements in place, but nothing really happened. We have a long-standing history of no action here. So I'm not sure I'd have a recommendation for you, Mr. Easter.
