4th meeting of the EU DAG under the EU-Japan EPA

The 4th meeting of the EU DAG under the EU-Japan EPA took place on 7 December 2020. The meeting was held as a videoconference. As this was the first meeting under the 2020-2023 mandate, a new Chair (Ms Erika Koller) and Co-chairs (Ms Stéphanie Ghislain and Mr Georgi Stoev) were elected.
The European Commission gave an update on EU-Japan trade relations and the state of play of the TSD implementation, including a presentation of the Acces2Markets platform and the new complaints mechanism. The EU DAG members also received information on other recent developments in Japan. Members reported on topical issues and events, e.g. the EPA progress seminar. The EU DAG also established its work programme for the new mandate.
