Japan may give lawmakers access to TPP text before conclusion

By Kakumi Kobayashi
WASHINGTON, May 4, Kyodo

Japan is considering giving lawmakers access to the secret text of a Pacific free trade initiative possibly next week even before the deal is concluded, in keeping with what the U.S. government is doing for Congress, a senior Japanese government official said Monday.


The plan was revealed amid growing calls by Japanese and U.S. lawmakers as well as some in the public to disclose more information about negotiations of the 12-country Trans-Pacific Partnership deal, which critics have said are shrouded in a veil of secrecy.


"We'll make preparations to allow lawmakers access to the text next week" at the earliest, Yasutoshi Nishimura, senior vice minister of the Cabinet Office, told reporters in Washington.
