Through its strong relationship with the government, the European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines is able to support member companies by facilitating market access and working on the creation of a level playing field for both European and Filipino companies alike.
The ECCP's 24 sector committees convene to discuss cross-cutting and specific issues, listing key recommendations on actions needed to support market access for European businesses, and enable long-term economic welfare for the Philippines. Below are our advocacy wins in 2023.

“Strong connectivity. This is the driving force of both FedEx Express and the ECCP. We share a common vision – to provide robust and unparalleled connections in and out of Europe. Even during these times, we truly appreciate the ECCP for staying committed and dedicated as advocates of resilience. We highly value our membership with the ECCP because it allows us to stay connected to the European business community as we seek to understand how we can continue to support our fellow members to navigate during these challenging times through optimizing their supply chains.“
“Through the efforts of the Chamber to provide updates and business connections to its members, ECCP has been a good source of information during this challenging time especially on government efforts in supporting businesses in the Philippines. It was an avenue for MACC to learn and cope through the various trainings and webinars. With ECCP's endeavors, its members gained access to the various business efforts in promoting good business among its members.“
“This global pandemic has gravely affected the rhythm of daily business, but the ECCP never missed a step. It quickly adapted to the new normal, strengthening its networks with constant and open communication and bringing service to where it is needed. As the Chair of the ECCP North Luzon Business Council, we do our best in extending the same level of service from our office in Clark to ECCP members in North Luzon. Without a doubt, the ECCP continuously fulfills the promise of being the chamber of choice.“
“We have always regarded the ECCP as an important partner. It is a consistent source of information on policies, business news, and potential alliances with other organizations. During the pandemic, our partnership with them grew from strength to strength, united by a common purpose: providing businesses with accurate and relevant information to help members make informed decisions. We will continue to collaborate with the ECCP in webinars about changing consumer attitudes & behavior, improving customer experience, and the socio-economic forces, sparking conversations with fellow members.“
“Building institutions and developing human resources capacity are the key accomplishments of the Bangsamoro Development Agency (BDA) established in 2002. ECCP believes the strategic relevance of the agency as an important partner to bridge the public and private sectors in uplifting the socio-economic condition of the Bangsamoro carrying its new brand as BDA Inc. ECCP and BDA Inc. acknowledge the role of the private sector to boost the economic status of the Bangsamoro communities. During the global health pandemic, ECCP demonstrates its leadership by keeping its members intact and resilient.“
“As the newly-elected chair of the Real Estate Committee of the ECCP, we are proud to partner with the ECCP under its first real estate arm. We view our membership through this joint advocacy as a valuable investment; in creating solutions and building a platform of idea exchange and best practices amid such an unprecedented global crisis. In the spirit of collaboration, we remain committed to bringing together key players, insights, and related data that will serve as a guide to making business decisions in real estate.“
