EABC Seminar On Foreign Business Act
2019-02-26 08:30 - 11:00 | RADISSON BLU PLAZA BANGKOK, 489 Sukhumvit Road (Soi 27), Klongtoey Nua, Wattana, Bangkok, Bangkok, 10110, Thailand
Introduction
The Foreign Business Act was enacted in AD 1999, with the intent of protecting Thai industries not yet ready to compete. It replaced an Alien Business law from 1972. An annual review mechanism was intended to allow industries over time to be opened up to competition, but that system has barely resulted in change. The Foreign Business Act is about commercial presence – ie business activities conducted by entities. Thus a company incorporated in Thailand with less than 50% foreign ownership is a ‘Thai company’ and would not face restrictions under the FBA, but a company with 50% or more foreign equity would be a ‘foreign’ company.
It is a generally accepted view that many industries are ready to compete, but they remain officially closed. Most companies would benefit from competition, rather than being harmed by it. The real harm is more likely to be the continued protection, allowing inefficient and non competitive practices. What should be done better to support the Thailand 4.0 vision?
While Investment Promotion via BOI recognizes the value of foreign investment, what about other areas? How is this foreign equity measured and what does it mean for the economy and possible future change? How are licences granted? How are industries defined?
This seminar aimed to provide an understanding of the workings of the regulation of foreign investment and insights into what can be done to contribute more to the competitiveness of the Thai economy.
The SEMINAR BOOKLET contains the Agenda, Speaker bios, Primer Backgrounder (pages 7-23), Sponsor and Supporters information. It is a resource for information and understanding.

ASSIST: THE ASEAN SOLUTIONS FOR INVESTMENT, SERVICES AND TRADE
2019-03-12 08:00 - 17:00
The EU Delegation in Jakarta is organising an event on 12th March in Bangkok to sensitise the private sector on ASSIST: The ASEAN Solutions for Investment, Services and Trade http://assist.asean.org/
This free online tool has recently been enhanced with additional anonymity features, and it can now cover matters relating to Trade in Goods and Trade in Services.
This event is organised by their regional flagship programme ARISE+. Please find attached the programme and background information on ASSIST.

ASSIST: ASEAN Solutions for Investment, Services and Trade

ASSIST in a nutshell

ASSIST means ASEAN Solutions for Investment, Services and Trade.
ASSIST was formally launched at the ASEAN Economic Ministers’ (AEM) Meeting held in August 2016 and then officially presented to the ASEAN business sector at the ASEAN Business Summit 2016. It was initially developed for “Trade in Goods” only. ASSIST has now been extended to “Trade in Services”.
ASSIST for Trade in Services has been soft-launched at the ASEAN Business Summit in November 2018. It will be fully deployed during Thailand’s ASEAN Chairmanship.
ASSIST is a non-binding and consultative mechanism to find solutions to problems encountered by ASEAN-based enterprises on cross-border issues (e.g. when ASEAN enterprises experience trade issues when exporting their goods or services into other ASEAN countries).
When a valid complaint is lodged, ASEAN Member States should propose a solution within 40 to 60 days maximum.
ASSIST is user-friendly, internet based and free of charge http://assist.asean.org/
The ASSIST mechanism was established to implement the ASEAN Consultations to Solve Trade and Investment Issues (ACT) mandated under the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement (ATIGA).
ASSIST is linked to the ASEAN Trade Repository (ATR) and National Trade Repositories (NTR) maintained by ASEAN Member States where trade related information is available.
ASSIST is has an interactive ‘tracking system’ and ‘traffic light’ dashboard that allows the key actors to follow the online proceedings.
New features: On top of extending the ASSIST to Trade in Service, complains anonymity has been enhanced – following feedback from the private sector. Now, complains can be lodged not only by 1) ASEAN-based company, but also through 2) ASEAN-based trade association (Chamber of Commerce) or 3) ASEAN-based registered lawyers or law firms.
The ASEAN business community is encouraged to take advantage of the opportunities offered by ASSIST to seek solutions to the constraints that they may be facing when trading within ASEAN.
