根据经济产业省的决定，日本将在年底前终止提交官方文件的软盘要求。 Japan ends floppy disk requirement for official documents submission by year-end, per METI's decision.

据 The Register 报道，日本经济产业省 (METI) 已决定逐步停止使用过时的物理介质，因此到今年年底，日本将不再需要软盘来提交一些官方文件。 Japan will no longer require floppy disks for submitting some official documents by the end of this year, as the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has decided to phase out the use of outdated physical media, according to The Register. 此举是继数字事务大臣河野太郎在 2022 年敦促鼓励政府其他部门采用更现代的数据提交方法之后采取的。 This move follows the urge by Minister of Digital Affairs Taro Kono in 2022 to encourage other branches of the government to adopt more modern methods for data submission.
