Negative list. The Government will ensure that the CFI negative list (to be captured in regulations) excludes activities that carry a high risk of negative outcomes on the environment or local communities. In particular, the negative list will rule out: – Establishing vegetation on land cleared of native vegetation since 1 July 2007. This will remove the risk of a perverse incentive to clear native vegetation in order to establish a carbon forest. – Establishing a known weed species. This will remove the risk that invasive species will be part of carbon projects. – Establishing forest in conditions where it would risk impacts on the availability of water. This will remove the risk that carbon plantings will affect environmental flows or other water users. – Establishing a forest as part of a Managed Investment Scheme. This will reduce the risk of distortions to markets for agricultural land. • The Government will consult with regional catchment bodies and local government on each new methodology that is developed for the CFI with the aim of ensuring that local areas are aware of the implications of CFI projects being implemented in their areas. • The Government will require that CFI projects involving forest conservation (logging cessation projects) in the publicly owned native forest estate take account of carbon leakage risk. • Project proponents will be required to include emissions from logging in the forest estate for which they have operational control as part of the accounting for the CFI project. In addition, proponents will be subject to discounting to account for the risk of leakage to other parts of the native forest estate for which they do not have operational control, in line with a methodology to be developed in consultation with stakeholders. • Investment in the commercialisation and deployment of renewable energy, energy efficiency and low emissions technologies, and the transformation of existing manufacturing businesses to re-focus on meeting demand for inputs for these sectors.
Negative list. Under a negative list approach, all sectors and measures covering trade in services or investment must be liberalized unless otherwise specified in annexes containing reservations or a list of non-conforming measures. A non-conforming measure is any law, regulation, procedure, requirement or practice which violates certain articles of the related investment agreement. For example, a law prohibiting an investor of another member country from owning a factory does not conform to the article on national treatment. The reserved non-conforming measures are exemptions from market ac- cess, national treatment and most-favoured-nation treatment for investment and cross-border trade in services set out in Art. 8.18 and Annex 8-B1 for current reservations and Annex 8-B2 for future reservations. The Japanese reservations can be found in Annex 8-B1 on pages 228 et seq. and in Annex 8B-2 on pages 167 et seq. (English versions). These measures are mainly regulatory requirements for foreign service providers and investors such as pre-information duties and screening procedures; requirements for obtain- ing permits, authorizations and licenses; requirements for the establishment of a company or office; requirements for the establishment of legal entities; and requirements for registration. Access to the professions of notary and pilot is linked to Japanese citizenship. Future reservations relate to state measures restricting financial services, participation in state-owned enter- prises, supply of telegraphic services, betting and gambling services, manu- facture of tobacco products, production of Bank of Japan banknotes, coin- age and postal services in Japan, and technically novel services, as well as other measures in specific sectors mentioned therein.
