Dear Friends of the EBC,<\/p>\n
We have been advocating for several weeks now against the re-entry ban in Japan imposed on most non-Japanese nationals.<\/p>\n
We are planning further actions, but we need data to support our requests. Therefore, we launched a survey<\/strong> that has been disseminated by EU national Chambers of Commerce to their members. In case you are a European company which is not a member of an EU national Chamber, you can fill out this survey (see details below).<\/p>\n
The more companies take part in the survey, the more representative the results become. We hope for your cooperation and support!<\/p>\n
We also give you the opportunity to answer a JETRO survey<\/strong> (until July 3rd<\/sup>). JETRO would like to better understand the difficulties foreign businesses might have today, with the objective to further strengthen support to these companies.<\/p>\n
Vicente J. Luna, an analyst of worldwide big data on location and mobility, shares a presentation on the current COVID-19 economic situation in Japan.<\/p>\n
We wish you a good reading and hope you stay positive and healthy during this difficult time.<\/p>\n

Digitalisation will play a central role in recovering from the crisis wrought by COVID-19. Already during the crisis, digital solutions, including enabling people to work and learn remotely, helped reduce the adverse impact of the pandemic and helped many businesses stay open. COVID-19 has shown that digital technologies are essential to the functioning of today\u2019s global economy and underline their transformational potential. But digital technologies are also generating new policy issues. Policy makers in Japan and the EU need to ensure that the infrastructure, the connectivity and the regulations are in place to respond to the coronavirus and to keep people active and safe online. In this webinar, European and Japanese experts will share views about the role of digitalisation for the recovery and how they can contribute to a green recovery by addressing topics such as data governance and privacy, digital innovation or the interoperability of digital services between the EU and Japan.<\/p>\n
