No one appreciates that more than legislators from Saitama Prefecture, who take annual "fact finding" trips to Europe.

Moreover, he suggested last week that the privatization of land, perhaps the most important aspect of the plan, be placed on a referendum for voters to decide. The procedure for balloting could take as long as six months to organize, postponing and perhaps dooming the entire reform package should < the public, which is ambivalent about private property, reject the proposition...
