The EU-Japan EPA enumerates and provides extensive detail concerning coverage, access and protection to the maritime transport industry for Japanese and European firms conducting business between each other.

Each webinar will address a different topic or sector and will look at the changes the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement will make and the opportunities it will create. Each webinar will be accompanied by a factsheet and a practical guide. For more information on the EPA Helpdesk please click here.
