Sir, 
I have the honour to inform Your Excellency that, 
in accordance with the Law for the Control of Imported and 
Exported Plants, inspection of plants for export has hitherto 
been carried out in the case of the United States of America 
and Great Britain, and that, in the case of other countries, 
plants have been examined as a latter of expediency in 
response to a request from those countries. 
As there has recently’been a marked increase in 
the number of Countries of importation which demand an 
inspection certificate of the exporting country, I am 
informed that the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry 
issued on February 6th of this year a notification, an 
English translation of which is enclosed, and that 
inspection in respect of specified plants is to be carried 
out in accordance with the Law in the case of several 
countries other than the two mentioned above. 
The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry request 
that the above information may be communicated to the 
countries concerned, and 1 have the honour to ask four 
Excellency to be so good as to forward it accordingly. 
I avail etc., 
(Ggd) Kijuro Bhldehara (L.S.)
