Abstract

<p>This paper aims to verify whether Japan's commitments in the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement are consistent with the Liberal Democratic Party's manifesto and the Diet resolutions. The former is defined as a request to exempt any agricultural product from tariff elimination, while the latter to exempt all five sensitive agricultural products from any commitment. The paper concludes from an analysis of Japan's tariff schedule that, whereas the manifesto is observed, the resolutions are not observed since the share of the five agricultural products exempted from any commitment is 26 and zero percent, respectively, based on a narrow and broad tariff classification.</p>
