The European Business Council in Japan (EBC) organizes jointly with the Embassy of the Republic of Cyprus in Japan a seminar and panel discussion on regulatory changes in the EU that might impact foreign investors in the EU. This event also commemorates Cyprus’ assumption of the Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
Topics range from digital governance and data protection to competition law and compliance frameworks. These are shaping global standards and hence also have influence on corporate legal strategies in Japan and beyond.
