Programmes


Business Mission Background EABC’s 2012 Australian Business Mission to Europe will visit Frankfurt (3-4June), Brussels (5-6 June), Rotterdam and The Hague (7-8 June) 2012. EABC’s Business Missions are strongly supported by the Australian Government and European Union as an important activity to strengthen bilateral co-operation on public and economic policy developments affecting issues between Australia and Europe as its largest economic partner. In developing the programme, we have worked closely with the official representatives of the countries we are visiting, including the Australian Ambassadors representing the EU, Belgium, Germany and Netherlands, including Ambassador Brendan Nelson in Brussels, as well as Ambassadors Peter Tesch in Frankfurt and Neil Mules in Netherlands. Purpose The purpose of these annual business missions is to engage the leadership of the institutions of the European Union, member states and peak business and industry groups in ongoing dialogue on the Australia-EU trade and investment relationship. The missions also provide Australian delegates with insights into public and economic policy developments occurring within Europe at both the national and EU levels. This provides delegates with up-to-date information on critical areas such as the regulation of global trade, financial markets, economic performance and development across the 500M EU market, energy and climate change, and the EU’s engagement with the Asia-Pacific region, the trans-Atlantic relationship, and other regions. Delegates are also discussing developments occurring within Australia and the Asia-Pacific region with European counterparts, and exploring opportunities to increase bilateral trade and investment. Mission Programmes The first EABC Mission in May 2006 was the first ever Australian business delegation to meet with European Commissioners and senior officials in Brussels. Since then, EABC members have met with over a third of the Commission members under President Barroso, many of whom continue to serve in his second administration which took office in early 2010. Business Mission programmes include a visit to Brussels; one or more Member States with whom Australia has a strong trade and investment partnership; and a Member State where opportunities exist to expand economic relations. Past missions have visited Antwerp, Berlin, Brussels, Budapest, Copenhagen, Geneva, Hamburg, Istanbul, Lausanne, London, Madrid, Paris, Stockholm, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Venice, Vienna and Warsaw.



2012 Mission Programme The 2012 Mission includes briefings on the institutions and priorities of the European Central Bank (ECB), European Commission and European Parliament, as well as meeting with peak European business, industry and public policy organisations. In Frankfurt, Brussels, Rotterdam & The Hague, the delegation will meet with senior government, institutional and industry representatives to discuss public and economic policy developments and their impact on the trends and investments outlook within Europe, and in global markets. The programme includes a series of meetings, roundtables, functions and other activities to enable discussion on a range of economic, public policy and sector issues: - investment, trade and internal market policy issues - banking and financial services (regulation) - energy security, renewable technologies and climate change - infrastructure financing, construction and management - technology and commercialisation of intellectual property - bilateral trade and investment issues - co-operation in Asia-Pacific markets
