日中、水産物禁輸緩和へ調整　ＩＡＥＡの監視強化

　東京電力福島第１原発の処理水海洋放出を受けて中国が続ける日本産水産物の禁輸を緩和する方向で日中両政府が調整を進めていることが分かった。複数の日本政府関係者が２０日、明らかにした。中国も加わる国際原子力機関（ＩＡＥＡ）による処理水のモニタリング（監視）体制を強化し、中国側の懸念に応える。
　岸田文雄首相が２０日午後、ＩＡＥＡのグロッシ事務局長と電話で会談し、監視体制の拡充で合意する見通し。日中両政府はこれを受け、輸入再開に向けて調整を加速する。首相官邸幹部は「中国側の要請を受け、ＩＡＥＡと対応の強化で合意する」と語った。（2024/09/20-12:10）

The Japanese and Chinese governments are working toward easing China's prolonged import ban on Japanese fishery products introduced in response to treated water releases into the sea from the Fukushima No.1 nuclear plant, Japanese government sources said Friday.
   Tokyo hopes to address Beijing's concerns by strengthening the International Atomic Energy Agency's treated water monitoring system also joined by China, the sources said.
   Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is expected to agree with IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi in a telephone conference on Friday afternoon on the strengthening of the monitoring system.
   China introduced the import ban in August last year, shortly after Japan started the discharges of radioactive tritium-containing treated water into the sea from Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc.'s meltdown-stricken Fukushima No.1 plant in northeastern Japan.
