For the countermeasures for these issues, we presented the following solutions: 1) Step-by-step, gradual reinforcement in environmental standards to fit the international regulations, 2) Arrangement of monitoring system regarding environmental regulation, 3) Support in acquiring ISO certification, 4) Establishment of joint reaction system regarding environmental regulations.
