A foreign investor that has filed a notification under the preceding paragraph with regard to inward direct investment or an equivalent action must not undertake the inward direct investment or equivalent action that is subject to that notification until the final day in the 30-day period that starts on the date that the Minister of Finance and the competent minister for the business receive the notification; provided, however, that on finding, before the end of this period, that, in light of its business purpose or any other consideration, the inward direct investment or equivalent action that is subject to that notification does not constitute one necessitating an examination under the following paragraph, the Minister of Finance and the competent minister for the business may shorten this period.
When a notification under paragraph (1) has been filed, on finding it necessary to examine whether the inward direct investment or equivalent action that is subject to that notification falls under one of the following categories of inward direct investment or equivalent action (hereinafter referred to as "inward direct investment or an equivalent action that is a matter of national security or a similar concern"), the Minister of Finance and the competent minister for the business may extend the period during which the inward direct investment or equivalent action that is subject to that notification must not be undertaken, but only to a period of four months starting on the day on which the notification is received:

it would have a significant adverse effect on the smooth operation of the Japanese economy;

If the Minister of Finance and the competent minister for the business have extended the period during which an inward direct investment or equivalent action must not be undertaken pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, but they find, as a result of the examination under that paragraph and before the expiration of the extended period, that the inward direct investment or equivalent action stated in the notification under paragraph (1) does not fall within the scope of an inward direct investment or equivalent action that is a matter of national security or a similar concern, they may shorten the extended period.

罰金
金銭を国に納めさせる刑罰で、一万円以上です。減軽する場合は一万円未満に下げることができます(刑法第十五条)。拘禁刑より軽く、拘留や科料より重い刑です(同法第九条・第十条第一項)。完納できない人は、一日以上二年以下(罰金を併科した場合などは三年以下)の期間、労役場に留置され、その期間は刑の言渡しのときに定められます(同法第十八条第一項・第三項・第四項)。裁判が確定した後三十日以内は、本人の承諾がなければ留置の執行はできません(同条第五項)。刑の言渡しが確定した後、三年間執行を受けないと時効が完成し、執行の免除を得ます(同法第三十一条・第三十二条第五号)。ただし、法令により執行を猶予し又は停止した期間や、本人が国外にいる期間は時効が進行せず、執行行為をすると時効は中断します(同法第三十三条・第三十四条第二項)。

税関長
財務省の地方支分部局として置かれる税関の長です(財務省設置法第十二条第一項)。税関は、関税を徴収し、輸出入される貨物を取り締まるほか(同法第十六条第一項、第四条第一項第二十五号・第二十六号)、法令で任された内国税(消費税など、関税以外の国の税)を課して徴収します(同法第十六条第一項第四号)。消費税では、保税地域(輸入された貨物が通関前に置かれる場所)から課税貨物を引き取ろうとする人は、ほかの法律や条約で免除される場合を除き、税務署長ではなく税関長に申告書を出します(消費税法第四十七条第一項・第二項)。税額を税関の側で決める方式(賦課課税方式)の貨物では、税関長が引取りのときに消費税を徴収します(同法第五十条第二項)。

審査請求
行政庁の処分に不服がある者や、法令に基づいて処分の申請をしたのに相当の期間が経過しても行政庁が何の処分もしない(不作為)ときにその申請をした者が、行政庁に対して不服を申し立て、見直しを求めることです(行政不服審査法第二条・第三条)。法律(条例に基づく処分については、条例)に特別の定めがある場合を除き、処分をした行政庁(処分庁)や不作為に係る行政庁に上級行政庁がないとき、又はその行政庁が主任の大臣や一定の庁の長などであるときはその行政庁に、主任の大臣や一定の庁の長などが上級行政庁であるときはその大臣や長に、それ以外のときは最上級行政庁に対してします(同法第四条)。ほかの法律が、審査請求をする先の機関や手続について別の定めを置くこともあります(同法第一条第二項・第四条)。たとえば厚生年金保険法は、厚生労働大臣による被保険者の資格、標準報酬又は保険給付に関する処分(厚生年金保険原簿の訂正の請求についての決定を除きます)についての審査請求を社会保険審査官に対してするものとし、行政不服審査法の規定の多くを適用しないとしています(厚生年金保険法第九十条第一項・第九十一条の二)。行政不服審査法では、処分についての審査請求は、処分があったことを知った日の翌日から三か月(先に再調査の請求をしたときは、その決定があったことを知った日の翌日から一か月)を過ぎるとすることができず、処分(再調査の請求をしたときはその決定)があった日の翌日から一年を過ぎてもすることができません。ただし、正当な理由があるときは別です(行政不服審査法第十八条第一項・第二項)。審査請求をしても、それだけでは処分の効力や執行、手続の続行は止まりません(同法第二十五条第一項)。ただし、審査庁は、審査請求人の申立てにより(処分庁又はその上級行政庁である審査庁は職権でも)その全部又は一部を停止すること(執行停止)ができ、審査請求人の申立てがあった場合で、重大な損害を避けるために緊急の必要があるときは、公共の福祉に重大な影響を及ぼすおそれがあるときや本案に理由がないとみえるときを除き、執行停止をしなければなりません(同条第二項から第四項まで)。審査請求を受けた行政庁(審査庁)は、裁決で判断します。期間を過ぎたものなど不適法な審査請求は却下し、理由のないものは棄却し、理由のあるものは処分の全部若しくは一部を取り消し、又は変更します。ただし、審査請求人の不利益に変更することはできず、処分庁でも処分庁の上級行政庁でもない審査庁は処分を変更することができません(同法第四十五条第一項・第二項、第四十六条第一項、第四十八条)。事実上の行為についての審査請求に理由があるときは、裁決でその行為が違法又は不当であることを宣言し、その全部若しくは一部を撤廃し、若しくは変更するよう命じ、又は自ら撤廃し、若しくは変更します(同法第四十七条)。不作為についての審査請求に理由があるときは、審査庁は、裁決でその不作為が違法又は不当であることを宣言し、一定の処分をすべきと認めるときは、その処分をするよう命じ、又は自らその処分をします(同法第四十九条第三項)。処分が違法又は不当でも、取り消し、又は撤廃すると公の利益に著しい障害が生じるときは、そのことを裁決で宣言した上で審査請求を棄却することができます(同法第四十五条第三項)。裁決は、審査請求人に送達された時(処分の相手方以外の者がした審査請求について、処分を取り消し、若しくは変更し、又は事実上の行為について判断する裁決をするときは、審査請求人と処分の相手方の両方に送達された時)に効力を生じ、関係行政庁を拘束します(同法第五十一条第一項・第五十二条第一項)。

株主総会
株式会社の株主が集まって会社の基本的な事項を決める機関です。取締役・監査役などの役員を選任し(会社法第三百二十九条第一項)、定款を変更します(第四百六十六条)。取締役会を置かない会社では会社に関する一切の事項を決議でき、取締役会を置く会社では会社法と定款が定める事項に限られます(第二百九十五条)。毎事業年度の終了後に定時株主総会を招集しなければならず、必要があればいつでも招集できます(第二百九十六条)。決議は原則として、議決権の過半数を有する株主が出席し、その議決権の過半数で行います(第三百九条第一項)。
