Event Description
The economic relations between the EU and Japan have been strong for a long time, but are now about to take new steps forward as they have concluded an Economic Partnership Agreement that significantly will reduce barriers to trade. It is an important agreement for both sides, but also comes at a time when the principles and practice of the open and rules-based trading system are stressed. What new trade opportunities will this agreement bring? How can it be used as a platform for improving social conditions and the climate of trade policy in the world?
Please join us for a high-level conference to discuss the new EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement.

Pedro Silva Pereira, Member of the European Parliament and rapporteur on the EU-Japan EPA
Prof. Yorizumi Watanabe, former trade negotiators and Professor at the Faculty of Policy Management, Keio University
