Mission for Growth: Antonio Tajani, fostering economic ties between Chile and the EU

European Commission Vice President Antonio Tajani would travel on 25 January 2013 to Chile accompanied by a large business delegation composed of 49 representatives of 40 European companies and industry associations, from 9 EU Member States.

In total, these organisations and their member companies have a combined turnover of some € 350 billion (more than the GDP of Austria). The business associations alone represent 17 000 companies which generate more than two million jobs, either directly or indirectly.

This mission, in conjunction with < ahref="http://www.europeansources.info/record/mission-for-growth-enhancing-business-cooperation-between-peru-and-the-eu/">the 23 January 2013 visit to Peru, is part of the series of "Missions for Growth" to help European enterprises, in particular small and medium sized enterprises, to better profit from fast growing emerging international markets. The two day visit will reinforce partnerships to help industry and SMEs to fully exploit the potential for commercial relations between Chile and the EU.
