The Dusit Thani Bangkok Hotel

Through the Trade Defence Directorate, the European Union has long sought to protect its economy from international trade distortions through instruments that fully comply with EU law and regulations laid out by the World Trade Organization. Additionally, the Directorate also tracks the execution and efficiency of its own measures, those used by non-EU countries, and collaborate with trading partners for the drafting of new rules.

The two-day workshop aims at disseminating transparent, accurate and up-to-date EU trade-related regulatory information to relevant stakeholders in order to build capacity among the Thai government officials on EU trade-related policies and regulations as well as international practices; transfer knowledge on EU best practices to relevant Thai counterparts; and support deeper understanding of the EU procedures and practices for Trade Defence Instruments.
