ACEA request for a meeting on the EU-Japan FTA negotiations
Dear Ms Åsenius,
I am writing to you on behalf of ACEA’s Secretary General Mr Erik Jonnaert to explore the possibility of
organising a meeting with you to discuss the EU-Japan FTA negotiations.
We would very much appreciate the opportunity to meet you in order to provide ACEA’s assessment of
the progress made in the FTA so far, as well as to discuss the next steps and the prospects of the
negotiations for the European automobile industry. Taking into account that the negotiations are now
entering the end game, we consider that this would be a very timely discussion.
Should you be available for such a meeting, could you please kindly let us know if any of the below
timeslots would suit you agenda:
1/12 9.00 - 10.30
5/12 9.00-11.30
13/12 9.00-12.00 or 15.00-17.00
14/12 9.00-11.30
Please note that our most preferred timeslot would be
5/12 9.00-11.30 as that would also allow for the
participation of the Head of the Tokyo Office of ACEA, who could contribute to provide the latest update
from Japan. That said, Mr Jonnaert and I remain available to meet you on any of the other dates
indicated above.
Thank you very much in advance for your kind consideration. We look forward to your response.
Best regards,
