Conference: Two-year implementation of the EVFTA in Vietnam - A review from business perspective

The European Union–Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) has come into effect for 2 years (from August 1, 2020). During this time, the EVFTA implementation was seriously affected by many factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, logistics and supply chain crisis, geopolitical fluctuations, etc. It’s necessary to review the achieved results, identify encountered problems and challenges in the past two years, thereby drawing lessons for future implementation of the Agreement from a perspective of trade, investment and law-making. 

Therefore, with the support of the FNF Institute (Germany), the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) has conducted a Research Report on "Vietnam after two years of EVFTA implementation from a business perspective" on the basis of (i) A Survey of businesses on their practice, evaluation and perception about two years of EVFTA implementation and (ii) A Review of the effectiveness of law-making activities to implement this Agreement. 

For the announcement of this Report, VCCI will organise the Conference:
