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 23 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 2021.

“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.“
“As one of KMC Savills’ longtime trusted partners, the ECCP has been a wonderful avenue of information dissemination and thought leadership in the crucial times of the global pandemic. The alliance goes beyond just being a value-add to our business; their webinars and other hosted events helped in keeping us up to date and opened a discussion on current affairs & other industry matters. They have provided excellent training or seminar opportunities that match our goal to constantly improve, successfully pivot our business, and invest in the professional development of our people.“
“I appreciate how ECCP has continued providing many opportunities for professional growth and business development even as we work from home. The various committees are also valuable sources of information and the level of engagement has not diminished even in these challenging times.“
“The ECCP has been providing a big help to our business during this global crisis because they have given us a lot of opportunities to learn through the many webinars they organize for their members. The advisory from the chamber is also helpful to keep us updated on all the initiatives by the organization to help businesses. It feels good that somebody is working for the business community. We appreciate the updates from the government and COVID-19 news from the chamber.“
“The ECCP prioritized a holistic approach in developing its local and international community in this time of uncertainty. They swiftly transitioned their physical services and programs that aim to strengthen business relationships virtually; this includes access to the latest news, insights from leaders in the field, joint foreign chambers, and research that is instrumental in improving people’s lives. Joining ECCP has been paramount to our organizational success. We highly recommend an ECCP membership for anyone who is committed to building long-lasting business relationships across the globe.“
“Relevant, networked and impactful is how I summarize ECCP’s value to member companies, like Cargill. Though we are only in our first year of membership, our investment has been returned many-fold. From staying updated on the latest issuances and developments to participating in highly substantial conversations, these have been valuable in keeping apace with the disruption and change in the markets. ECCP’s support and responsiveness has been helpful in navigating the complex environment and allowing us to continue delivering our promise of nourishing Filipinos and the world.“
