The EABC Cross Sectoral Issues Working Group provides an effective advocacy forum for members to address common, across-business-sector policy and regulatory issues through the advocacy of European business interests to the relevant Thai authorities and counterparts.
The Working Group actively works on priority areas in which the improvement would meaningfully enhance Thailand’s long-term competitive position.
