The 70th EU Konwakai was held at Ambassador Odano's residence on November 21st. The guest speaker was Ms. Meglena Kuneva, European Commissioner for Consumer Affairs.
Following an address by Commissioner Kuneva on consumer protection in the EU, the assembled guests and representatives of the Japanese business community in Europe engaged in a lively Q&A session with the Commissioner. This allowed for an interesting discussion and exchange of views.
The Konwakai was established in 1988 as an informal group of Japanese business enterprises operating in Europe. It holds a gathering several times a year to exchange views and information on various issues with guest speakers from EU insitutions.
