lpv:translated text	"Mr President, in 2011, no death penalty was executed in Japan but the new Minister of Justice announced recently that executions may be resumed. The decision corresponds to the current majority of Japanese public opinion. According to certain polls, 80% of the population would support the death penalty. Under these circumstances, it is difficult to promote in Japan a public debate on changing the legislation or stopping the executions. However, the EU must encourage the authorities in Tokyo to address openly the subject, involving the whole society in discussions. At the same time, more transparency is needed on the conditions of detention and treatment of death row inmates. I also draw your attention to the intention of reducing the period of time for the execution of sentences. There are fears that, by doing so, it will be no longer possible to correct potential miscarriages of justice."@en1
