Law No. 122 of 1973. It was enacted in response to the so-called oil crisis at the end of 1973, and its purpose is to ensure an adequate supply of oil to Japan in the event of a major oil supply shortage. When measures to improve oil supply and demand are deemed necessary by a Cabinet decision, the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry will require oil-related businesses to submit plans for oil production, import and sales in order to improve the balance of supply and demand. It also establishes a system for the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry to give direct instructions and control over business activities.
