This year\u2019s White Paper is called \u201cStrengthening partnerships \u2013 in crisis and opportunity alike\u201d. The opportunity is of course referring to the EU-Japan EPA that entered into force on February 1, 2019. Unfortunately, at the same time the COVID -19 crisis struck the world. We are, however, confident that with our recommendations, the European and Japanese economies and companies will continue to prosper.<\/p>\n<p>The White Paper will be uploaded on the EBC homepage shortly and will also be used to advocate for those changes that European businesses in Japan would like to see.<\/p>\n<p>For further information on the 2020 White Paper, please read <a style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;

And on a positive note, he shows that luxury brands have gone up an extra 20% points since he last reported from Sendai.
