U.S. Should Avoid Rail Standards That Limit Japan, Maehara Says
By John Hughes and Angela Greiling Keane
April 30 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. should avoid adopting standards for high-speed rail safety that would bar Japanese companies from competing for American projects, Japan’s Transport Minister Seiji Maehara said yesterday.
The U.S. needs to be flexible because European crashworthiness requirements for high-speed trains are different from those in Japan, Maehara told reporters in Washington after meeting lawmakers and regulators.
Maehara, speaking through an interpreter, said he was told by U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman James Oberstar that U.S.-adopted standards “will be fair to many competitors.”
