February 15, 2020 Call for sponsorship & pre-orders of 2020 EBC White Paper
The EBC White Paper continues to be at the forefront of trade policy discussions with both the Japanese and European Authorities and is the most tangible product of our committees’ year-long deliberations and advocacy activities. We are now seeking sponsors for the 2020 edition of this important document.
Release of this year’s report is especially critical as it will be the first report issued after the entry into force of the EU-Japan EPA. It is essential for EBC committees to continue applying pressure on both authorities through this report to ensure through close monitoring that agreed items are in fact implemented in a proper way. To further improve the business environment, the many issues not included in the EPA and new emerging issues must also be addressed.
To give high visibility to company support of this self-funding report and underline its importance, we will again place the logos of Pinnacle, Gold-Star, and Blue-Star Sponsors near the front of the report as well as in an eye-catching display at the back. The logos of these three categories of sponsorship will again be printed in colour. In addition, we will also provide a full-page colour advertisement for Pinnacle Sponsors and a half-page colour advertisement for Gold-Star Sponsors towards the back of the report (artwork to be provided by the sponsor).
The full range of sponsorship categories is as follows: Pinnacle Sponsors, Gold-Star Sponsors, Blue-Star Sponsors, Special Sponsors or Sponsors in return for the benefits outline below.
The EBC will also take advance orders for the white papers at 5,000 yen for one set (1 English and 1 Japanese version per set). Companies placing advance orders will be listed in the White Paper as Supporters.
