EuroCham Introduces Book on Trade Policy Recommendations from Vietnamese Business Associations

The European Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (EuroCham) just announced a book titled “Trade Policy Recommendations from Vietnamese Business Associations.” The book summarises major factors affecting the business environment such as tax, import, export, intellectual property rights, environment, infrastructure and legislation.

 

The book also covers recommendations on operations of Vietnamese business associations with the aim of raising their voice in the business community. This activity is part of the project “Capacity building on trade policy for Vietnamese business associations” funded by the European Union in the framework of the EU-Vietnam Multilateral Trade Assistance Project, third phase (MUTRAP III).

 

EuroCham has supported nine Vietnamese business associations, including the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (VITAS), the Vietnam Leather and Footwear Association (LEFASO), the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), the Hanoi Small and Medium Enterprises Association (HASMEA), the Ho Chi Minh City Handicraft and Wood Industry Association (HAWA), the Young Business People Association of Ho Chi Minh City (YBA), the Dong Nai Province's Exporter and Importers Club, and the Can Tho Business Association (CBA) to write this book. After doing the White Book on “Trade/Investment issues and recommendations” from 2008-2011, EuroCham has transferred its experience to Vietnamese business associations, from collecting recommendations to writing position papers and printing the book.
