Dear Friends of the EBC,
Upcoming this week are the following webinars:
The first one will introduce the newly Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), a new trade agreement that will shape global economics. Companies located in the RCEP-region can leverage this FTA and benefit from the preferential market access provided. You will learn how our experts on the ground evaluate the key achievements and limitations of the RCEP. They will also discuss the impact the trade deal will likely have on supply chains and trade volumes across Asia.
The second webinar will discuss synergies between the role of Responsible Business Conduct (RBC) and international labour standards in building resilience in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and efforts to implement the Trade and Sustainable Development chapter of the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement.
In conclusion, we give you an overview of our EBC Railways Committee’s work. Despite the difficult situation, it remained active in 2020, talking and meeting with officials at the nation’s railway operators. The committee’s advocacy efforts are focused on a set of longstanding issues that include calling for common technical standards and mutual recognition for approval and certification.
If your company is interested in a membership, you are most welcome to contact the EBC!
We hope you stay positive and healthy during this difficult time.
