The National European Chambers of Commerce and Business Organisations in Japan together with their collective trade policy arm, the European Business Council (EBC), form the premier business networking platform for Europeans in Japan. With close to 3,000 European and Japanese members, this network reaches deep into the business communities of both Europe and Japan, and has close ties with the National European Governments and the European Commission. Many of the European members of this network have mastered the Japanese language and have a long history of involvement in the Japanese business environment. The EBC has been working to improve the trade and investment environment for European companies in Japan since 1972. CLICK HERE to read more about the EBC. |

EU-Japan Economic
Integration Agreement
In June 2007 in Berlin, the EU-Japan Business Dialogue Roundtable resolved to prepare joint industry recommendations for an EU-Japan Economic Integration Agreement (EIA). Since that time, the EBC has developed draft proposals for concrete measures to be incorporated into this Agreement, based on the contributions of the EU business community in Japan in the period from July 2007 through January 2008, covering a wide variety of sectors. These draft proposals are now presented in the attached report. CLICK HERE FOR THE REPORT
We welcome the views and further contributions from companies, business and industry associations and others. Please send comment and text to EBC Policy Director, Mr. Jakob Edberg at edberg@ebc-jp.com by February 25.
