Chairman of CARI Tan Sri Dr Munir urged the private sector between the ASEAN and EU region to deepen engagement and cooperation, in the absence of robust policy reform of ASEAN at the EU-ABC Webinar: Europe’s New Trade Policy

He cited the policy document Pathway 225 that was produced by CARI in 2020 as a response to the COVID-19 for the ASEAN Business Advisory Council (ASEAN-BAC) and the Joint Business Council’s call to set up the ASEAN High-Level Special Commission has failed to progress further despite initial support from the economic ministers and leaders.

He also suggests that ASEAN private sector could look to the EU for leadership in sustainable technologies.

The webinar was moderated by Noel Clehane, Global Head of Regulatory & Public Policy, BDO, featuring H.E. Eduardo de Vega, Philippine Ambassador to Belgium, Luxembourg and the European Union,  Helena König, Deputy Director-General, European Commission’s directorate-general for Trade and Alessia Mosca, Secretary-general of Italia-ASEAN Association as panellists.
