New Access2Markets portal : Belgian webinar

AWEX, FIT, hub.brussels, FPS Foreign Affairs and Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) invite you to discover the new Access2Markets portal during a webinar organized on 19 January, from 10 to 11 am.

Last October, the European Commission launched the interactive and free Access2Markets portal to help SMEs trade within and beyond the EU’s borders. This platform is presented as a trade helpdesk, specifically designed to help SMEs overcome the difficulties encountered when entering new international markets. The tool offers a wealth of practical information for all EU countries and more than 120 export markets around the world : tariffs and taxes, product requirements, customs procedures, rules of origin, trade barriers, etc.
