Market Access Days
Market Access Days are events organised by member states’ national authorities and the European Commission. They include chambers of commerce, employers’ associations, investment and trade development agencies, exporters' organisations and other national and sectoral business organisations. The aim is to engage with stakeholders and businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises and provide a platform to network with policy makers and agencies.
The events include a keynote speech by the DDG of DG TRADE/Chief Trade Enforcement Officer, the promotion of EU trade policy, its implementation and enforcement, and presentations on practical tools and resources that help businesses navigate international trade and address barriers, such as the Access2Markets portal and Single-Entry Point.
