Advocacy

Overview

The European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines continuously partners with stakeholders within the government, business sector, civil society, and academe to work towards actionable solutions for a better business environment, for both European and Filipino companies alike.

Through its strong relationship with partners in government, the ECCP is able to support its member companies by facilitating market access and working on the creation of a level playing field for both European and Filipino companies alike. The ECCP’s 24 sector committees regularly meet to discuss issues and actionable solutions, which are then elevated to the government through a series of advocacy tools which include letters to members of the government, drafting of bills, creation of position papers on proposed reforms or current issues, and a collection of Advocacy Papers published every year. ECCP positions cover crosscutting issues and sector specific position papers, listing key recommendations on actions needed to support market access for European businesses and enable long term economic welfare for the Philippines.
