4.107. The New SEP sets as a goal for 2050 the realization of the "hydrogen society", hydrogen being an efficient energy source, with no greenhouse gas emissions. Japan, therefore, plans to pursue the research already undertaken in this area. The Ministerial Council on Renewable Energy, Hydrogen and Related Issues, a special coordination body, created in April 2017 to deal with renewable energy issues, adopted, in December 2017, the Basic Hydrogen Strategy to that effect (for more elements on the subsidy programme for fuel cell vehicles, see Section 3.3.1.2).

4.106. While the new Plan confirms the basic principles of Japan's energy policy (Energy security, Economic efficiency, Environment sustainability and Safety (3E+S)), it revises the 2014 Plan in view of the four years of implementation experience, and sets objectives for 2050; the previous Plan had a 2030 horizon. The Plan comprises two elements: a long-term energy supply and demand outlook for 2030 issued via a 2015 decision of the METI ("energy mix"); and the design of scenarios for 2050 with the aim of achieving energy transition and decarbonization through technological innovation.

4.106. The CFP covers several instruments managing fisheries. Under it, the multi-annual recovery and management plans continue to play an important role in managing almost all important stocks and fisheries, with clear objectives and rules at the core of the conservation policy. As at August 2019, five new-generation plans were in force (e.g. over-fished species such as cod, herring and sprat in the Baltic Sea). These plans contain, inter alia, the goal for fish stock management (in terms of fishing mortality and/or targeted stock size); the target of fishing at maximum sustainable yield and a deadline for achieving this target; the implementation of the landing obligation; safeguards for remedial action where needed; review clauses; (...)
