2-3 Institutional regulation and Anti-monopolistic policy There are no significant government regulations in Japan for film production, distribution, exhibition and broadcasting, as in European countries. However, there are ethical rating mechanisms for all films distributed and exhibited, as in other countries. In terms of industry structure, five domestic majors, particularly Toho, have a strong position in the Japanese market. As in other western countries, Hollywood has a higher market share than major domestic companies. The long-term trends of the market share of domestic companies versus Hollywood are similar to trends in France. The Japanese government may be in a dilemma over anti-monopolistic policy in the film sector and critical decisions have not been made as a result. (1)The definition of nationality of film in Japan British and European states have a national definition of what constitutes a national film (eg, Film Act 1985 in UK) and at EU level (EC certificate of nationality). However, there is no such definition in Japan, because of poor support for film at a national level and limited necessity for a definition. The Agency for Cultural Affairs, which runs small support systems, defines eligibility for the system as follows: ”The applicant must be either a production company of the film concerned, or its representative. The applying company must be a corporate organization authorized by Japanese law.” 3 And in a co-production agreement with Canada 4 , the eligibility is described as below. “an audio-visual production,,,,, which is produced by Japanese producer(s) in conjunction with Canadian producer(s) or is produced by Japanese and Canadian producers in conjunction with producer(s) of a third country to which the Government of Japan or the Government of Canada is linked by an agreement or common policy similar to this Statement.” 3 “Support Program for the Promotion of Japanese Films Abroad” 4 Common Statement of Policy on Film, Television and Video Co-Production between JAPAN and CANADA, Tokyo - July 20, 1994 101
