| Dear Friends of the EBC,
Since 11 October, Japan is opened again to tourists. If you arrive from the EU and if you have a valid vaccination certificate, you don’t need a PCR test. From 1st November, a new App, Visit japan Web, is available “for both international travelers and Japanese citizens and can be used for Quarantine, Immigration, and Customs declaration procedures”. It facilitates immigration procedures.
On 25 October, the European Union and Japan held their second High-level Economic Dialogue. Among the many issues discussed, the launch of negotiations on including rules on data flows in the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (24 October) was welcomed by the Ministers.
As you know, one of the main activities of the EBC is to monitor the Japanese business environment. We produce a White Paper which compiles all the issues faced by European industry and the recommendations addressed to the Japanese Government to improve the situation. On 24 November, the EBC would like to invite you to its next EBC Briefing to launch the 2022 White Paper. It will be opened by the EBC President, Michael Mroczek. Furthermore, six representatives of committees will in detail present and explain the issues and recommendations that cover their respective sector.
Today, we would like to share with you two events organised by our stakeholders and partner organisations:
We hope you stay positive and healthy during this difficult time.
Valerie Moschetti
EBC Chief Operating Officer
