| Dear Friends of the EBC,
Our EBC committees are groups where companies can, among other activities, monitor the Japanese market, share best practices, discuss the impact of public policy on business, and engage with Japanese authorities when regulatory issues hinder the smooth operation of the market.
The EBC Food & Agriculture Committee will meet on 19 March at 17:00 at the EBC.
If your company is involved or interested in food and agriculture, we would like to invite you to join us. This meeting will provide a valuable opportunity for networking and collaboration within the Agrifood sector. Perhaps you import food or ingredients from Europe, either as a subsidiary or as an importer?
Over the years, our committee has addressed a number of critical issues, such as quotas, food additives, labelling, food contact, packaging etc. One of the most recent concerns is the longer delivery times due to the incidents in the Red Sea. Don’t hesitate to send us an email to [email protected]
On 22nd March (from 16:30; dinner afterwards), the EBC Automotive Components Committee is hosting KPMG’s automotive practice at the German Chamber of Commerce. Kohei Okuma (Senior Manager) & Hitoshi Inukai (Partner) will present their latest automotive industry survey with a tailor made deep dive into the Japanese OEM, suppliers & consumer sentiments.
