JBCE Inauguration Party

The JBCE Inauguration Party, attended by approximately 160 persons, was held on Tuesday, 22 March 2000 at the Hilton Hotel Brussels.

Officials from the European Commission, Member of the European Parliament and executives from European Industry Associations kindly joined us and showed a strong interest in our potential contribution to European Union public policy.

JBCE was particularly honored to welcome Mr. Erkki Liikanen, European Commissioner for Enterprise, and Information Society, and H.E. Takayuki Kimura, Ambassador of Japan to the European Union as speakers.

We would like to thank all attendees for their encouragement to JBCE activities.
