Event Details

The European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP), in partnership with the Embassy of Switzerland and the Consular Office of Switzerland for Visayas and Mindanao, invites you to a luncheon meeting with our keynote speaker, H.E. Alain Gaschen, as he bares the provisions of EFTA and how it serves the Philippine trade policy interests by pushing improved trade mechanisms to recover from the pandemic.


The ECCP recognizes the role of trade as a precursor to growth and understands the cooperative role of each FTA state in the growth of its members. Therefore, it is imperative that Philippine businesses be made aware of the opportunities that could arise from participation in an international market and of how engaged companies may mutually stand to gain from the agreement.
