From the EBC

Dear Friends of the EBC,

Last week, the EBC organised a Webinar to inform you about the various support programmes offered to businesses by the Japanese government between February and May 2020 to counter the effects of COVID-19.

In this week’s issue, we publish a document from METI (in Japanese) summarizing its financial support and a list of links on the COVID-19 from various ministries/agencies.

We wish you a good reading and hope you stay positive and healthy during this difficult time.

White Paper Sponsorships

The European Business Council in Japan specializes in Japanese government relations and public affairs. Among our various services, the EBC White Paper is by far the most important document that we annually produce.

The White Paper is read by not only Japanese authorities, but also by the various European embassies and the EU Delegation. Its recommendations to the Japanese government in 25 economic sectors are a useful tool for European businesses to advocate on various problems they encounter on – or to access to – the Japanese market.

We are therefore hoping that we can get the resources that are needed to print, translate and distribute this White Paper, something that has been done now for 20 years.

We would be very glad if you could support our work on improving better economic relations between the EU and Japan through one of OUR VARIOUS SPONSORSHIP PROGRAMMES.

Thank you in advance for your precious contribution.
