Share your success stories of the impact of the EU-Japan EPA

As part of the celebration of the EU-Japan EPA after 5 years of its entry into force in 2024, the EU Delegation in Japan intends to present 10 success stories of the impact of the EU-Japan EPA. In view of that, the Belgian Embassy in Japan is looking for Belgian companies to present their business stories and explain how the EPA has helped them improve their business operations including through:

• increased turnover due to tariff/quota elimination
• the elimination of an important technical regulation/administrative burden which was a major obstacle prior to the entry into force of the EPA.

Those stories can cover any sector. The companies will be contacted by a contractor of the EU Delegation to check if the success story can be featured in an online article. The success stories will also be used in relation to the celebration of the 5th anniversary of the EU-Japan EPA.
 
The Embassy would like to invite you to share any stories you think might be of interest to joren.kippers@diplobel.fed.be or saki.kuroda@diplobel.fed.be by November 17, 2023 so that theycan compile a list for their EU colleagues. Feel free to reach out directly for any questions.
