Možnost zapojit se do průzkumu BusinessEurope ke zkušenosti s fungováním dohody EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA).

 

Last month marked the first anniversary of the entry into force of the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA). In light of this anniversary, the Commission published statistics that show export growth in a number of sectors and launched a survey to gather feedback from businesses and other stakeholders on their experiences with the EPA.

Members are encouraged to fill in and disseminate the 10 minute survey as well as provide any implementation-related comments to BusinessEurope on an ongoing basis.

This outperforms the growth in the past three years, which averaged 4.7% (Eurostat data). Japanese exports to Europe grew by 6.3% in the same period.
