Total clippings: 12 (2 TV, 5 print, and 5 online)
Key messages covered
Roft-Dieter Daniel, president of the European ASEAN Business Center, the quasi European
Chamber of Commerce, announced the strong support for the Thailand - EU Free Trade
Agreement (FTA) process.
The benefits of the FTA include both direct economic gains as well as a range of significant
social and developmental benefits that will help create a virtuous cycle of growth that in turn
will advance Thailand to a higher level of national prosperity. The EABC encouraged both
parties in the negotiations to move forward without delay in order to maximize Thailand’s
potential benefits from a finalized agreement.
The agreement will help Thailand to export to EU at 6.7% more or, 950 million EUR in a year.
Additional Thai GDP growth could reach 0.56%. The FTA reduces barriers to increased EU
investment in Thailand service sector, which is a critical requirement for the country to
advance to the next level of economic development.
