NECから私に、今回の銀行法の改正によりIBMとして何か対応が必要か、という質問がありました。
NECは、今後ともIBMのERPを続けることに、何か問題が生じないか心配しての質問です。
また、銀行法改正の話が、最近、日本の新聞等で盛んに報道ています。これは、銀行法改正の具体的な運用を定める施行令が、近い内に出されるためだと思われます。
先に、山田さんが指摘したように、施行令の内容によっては、最悪の場合、IBMがこのままの状態では、日本でのビジネスが継続できなくなる危険性もあります。
NEC has a concern if some issue would arise as they continue ERP by IBM for the future.
Also, this change in the Bank Law has been publicized often by Japanese newspapers recently. This seems to because some enforcing laws regulating specific applications will be issued soon.
As Mr. Yamada has indicated, there is a risk that IBM, as it is now, will not be able to continue their business in Japan in the worst case.
NEC worries whether any problem will occur by keeping ERP of IBM in the future, and asks me.
Recently, the articles about revision of bank law are reported by Japanese newspaper, etc.
It seems to be because enforcement order to decide the detail operation of Banking Act revision will be announced in near future.
As Mr. Yamada pointed out before, depending on the content of the enforcement order, IBM will possibly not be able to continue the business in Japan if the situation will not be changed.

施行令に伴いIBMとして何らかの対応が必要ならば、事前の準備が必要です。日本は大変官僚的な国なので、登録申請の準備には十分な時間が必要です。
こうした情勢を踏まえ、IBMの日本での継続的なビジネスを可能にするため、銀行法改正に関する情報を、事前に調査する必要があると思います。私は、この法改正を所管する金融庁、及び、決済代行システム業者と契約を締結する必要のある銀行等、私の持つ情報ルートにヒアリングをしようと考えています。
少し時間が掛かりますが、状況が分かり次第ご報告いたします。
Considering such environment, I believe we must search information regarding the Bank Law in order for IBM to be able to continue their business. I am planning to do some hearings with Financial Services Agency who is responsible for this law, as well as banks that banks etc who needs to conclude contracts with third-party payment system companies to whom I have connections for information gathering. It may take a while but I will report to you when the situation is clarified.

It takes some time but I will report as soon as the situation is clear.
