On 17 October an EABC delegation led by our President Mr. Rolf-Dieter Daniel visited the Office of the Public Sector Development Commission (OPDC) led by Dr. Thosaporn Sirisumphand, Secretary-General of OPDC. The EABC delegation also comprised of Dr. Thavirap Tantiwongse and Ms. Paranee Adulyapichet from the Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals Working Group and Ms. Wannaporn Wattanakasemsat and Ms. Rothai Chao from the Food and beverages Working Group and Mr. Per Lind from the ICT Working Group, and EABC Management representatives.
 
The discussion concerned how EABC can support OPDC in improving the ease of doing business and the Licensing Facilitation Act implementation. It was agreed to organize a joint working group with OPDC and EABC to identify key problems and analyze the root causes and develop and implement recommendations for improvement. It was suggested that EABC will act as a facilitator providing relevant expertise to this process.
