Think tank chief Tanaka to head postal privatization panel+

(Japan Economic Newswire)TOKYO, Dec. 26_(Kyodo) _ The government Monday named Naoki Tanaka, president of the 21st Century Public Policy Institute, as head of a committee to be created on April 1 to supervise the process of the privatization of Japan's postal services.



Earlier in the day Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi met with Tanaka, 60, who holds an economics doctorate from the University of Tokyo, to ask him to accept the job, government officials said.

The government also selected four committee members, including Hiroko Ota, a professor at the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies, and Shuya Nomura, a professor at Chuo Law School.


Under related laws the Diet passed earlier this year, the 10-year privatization process for Japan Post will begin in October 2007, when the public corporation for postal services will be split into four companies under a holding company.

The committee will advise ministers so that Japan Post and the four companies to be created from it will not squeeze the private sector by expanding their business in the privatization process.
