JBCE CONFERENCE “EU-JAPAN COOPERATION IN THE DIGITAL AGE: OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRANSFORMING SOCIETIES”

The EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) that came into force on 1 February 2019 creates the largest free trade area in the world, and brings countless benefits for European and Japanese societies and economies.
