Dear Friends of the EBC,<\/p>\n

As we embark on a new year full of opportunities, we are pleased to share with you our recent activities. The EBC attended a conference with the EU Ambassador and his team to learn about the new EU Commission’s policy priorities, celebrated international design innovation at the Czech Design Exhibition and attended the AHK Japan New Year’s Party. We’ve also included essential updates on EU import regulations and a unique career opportunity with the Ireland-Japan Chamber of Commerce (IJCC). These initiatives reflect our commitment to supporting the EU-Japan business relationship and creating new opportunities for growth.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

The EU Ambassador Welcomes the EBC<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
On 21 January, the European Business Council, together with the members of its Board and its Committee Chairs, had the honour of attending a briefing and exchange of views organised by Ambassador Jean-Eric Paquet and his team at the EU Delegation in Tokyo.\u00a0<\/strong><\/div>\n
After a warm welcome, Ambassador Paquet gave an overview of the global political situation, focusing on the impact of the new leaders of the European Union and Japan. Against a background of major geopolitical challenges in their respective regions, the EU and Japan continue to enjoy a strong partnership and a shared desire to strengthen their relationship. Ambassador Paquet then presented the European Commission’s policy orientations and projects for the next 5 years.<\/div>\n
The meeting focused on areas of direct interest to the EBC Committees: industrial policy and competitiveness, green and clean transition, economic security and defence, agriculture, innovation and digitalisation. The participants had an invaluable opportunity to share their perspectives on behalf of the European business community in Japan.<\/div>\n
We thank the EU delegation for their hospitality and look forward to continuing this fruitful partnership.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Important Information on EU Imports: ICS2<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Import Control System 2 (ICS2) is an advanced cargo information system designed to enhance security in the international transportation of goods and involved supply chain<\/strong>. All Economic Operators (EOs) bringing goods to or transiting through the EU are required to declare safety and security data via the Entry Summary Declaration (ENS). Based on the ENS, all goods are subject to safety and security risk analysis and better targeted controls.
\nICS2 plays a pivotal role in identifying high-risk consignments while facilitating the legitimate flow of goods. For more details, visit the ICS2 webpage<\/strong><\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
