KUALA LUMPUR: The European Union (EU) has
allocated 600,000 euros (RM2.4mil) to further
boost Malaysia-EU business cooperation, said
Ambassador and head of delegation of the European
Commission to Malaysia Vincent Piket.
“We are about to start a new strategic project for
promoting business-to-business cooperation in the
services sector, with emphasis on financial
services, and environmental and green technology
services.
“I expect this new project to serve as a major
boost to Malaysia-EU business cooperation in
priority areas for Malaysia’s new economic model,”
he told Bernama in an interview.
He said the project would be implemented by the
EU-Malaysia Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in
partnership with the Chambers of Commerce of EU
member states and Malaysian partners, including
the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturers.
Piket also said between 2006 and 2009, the EU
funded 10 trade promotion and business
facilitation projects in Malaysia with a total EU
contribution of four million euros (RM20mil).
