As many foreign
companies trading or doing business in Japan often encounter
company-specific difficulties in dealing with standards and regulations
that are not addressed among the relevant committee’s priority issues,
the EBC is offering its expertise and services on a fee-charging basis
to both members and non-members. So as not to intrude on the competence
of the committees and the chambers, the EBC only works on tasks that are
directly related to regulatory and related issues that are specific to a
particular company’s product or products. Regulatory and other
problems that are faced by many companies are included among the various

statement ahead of the G20 meeting to be held on November 15 in
Washington. The EBC believe that the meeting must be followed by a
series of international summits to be convened in the early months of
2009 with the aim of restructuring the global financial system,
restoring confidence in financial markets and alleviating as much as
possible the effects of the financial crisis on

to come up with concrete proposals to tackle all above mentioned
issues.To see the whole statement CLICK
