中部電力が浜岡原発（静岡県）3、4号機の再稼働に向けた審査でデータを不正に操作していた問題で、林欣吾社長と勝野哲会長が辞任する方向で調整していることがわかった。一連の問題の責任を取るとみられる。関係者が明らかにした。

データ不正問題をめぐっては、林社長らが14日に会見を開き、外部の弁護士による調査委員会の報告書の内容や、今後の方針などを説明する。進退についても言及するとみられる。林氏の後任には、安井稔取締役の名前が挙がっている。

データ不正問題は1月、原発の耐震設計のもととなる最大の地震の揺れ「基準地震動」のデータを、中部電が不正に操作していたことが発覚した。社内では複数回、不正を問題視する声が上がったが改められず、原子力規制委員会への情報提供で明るみに出た。

関係者によると、週明けに公表する報告書では、経営陣の直接的な関与が疑われるような事実には触れていない模様だ。それでも長年にわたって不正が続くというガバナンス（企業統治）不全が生じており、経営トップの責任は免れないと判断したとみられる。

勝野会長は主に工務畑を歩み…

Crude oil import volume in August increased by 3.6% compared to the same month last year, shifting from dependence on the Middle East to the United States

According to preliminary trade statistics for August released by the Ministry of Finance, crude oil imports increased by 3.6% from the same month last year to 11.59 million kiloliters. Import volume decreased from April to June due to the tense situation in the Middle East, but alternative procurement from the United States increased, and the volume exceeded the previous year's level for the second time in July. On the other hand, the trade balance was in the red for 1,0105.6 billion yen, the fourth consecutive month in the red, due to the continued high cost of crude oil procurement. The amount of imports from the Middle East decreased by 30.9% from the previous year to 7.25 million kiloliters, and the amount of imports from the United States was 3.65 million kiloliters, more than seven times the previous year. The import unit price of crude oil is 102,687 yen per kiloliter, the fourth highest level on record, and continued high costs remain an issue.

U.S. long-term interest rates reach the highest level in 19 years, as Treasury Secretary announces ``unusual plan'' to raise buyback limit

The yield on US 30-year government bonds hit a 19-year high of 5.311% since June 2007. Amid market caution due to fiscal instability and inflation concerns, U.S. Treasury Secretary George Bessent announced a ``bizarre plan'' to more than double the limit on the repurchase of U.S. bonds with maturities of 10 years or more, in response to rising long-term interest rates.
