    10th Australian Business Mission to Europe Zurich, Bern, Brussels, Helsinki 26 June - 1 July 2016 Mission Report Supported by EABC Major Partner: (Executive Summary) Introduction The EABC Australian Business Mission to Europe is undertaken each year as an initiative to strengthen bilateral relationships with European leaders, institutions, officials, peak business groups and policy organisations. The Missions travel to Brussels as the political and administrative capital of the European Union, and to other political and commercial capitals in Europe. Since 2006, EABC delegations have travelled to Berlin, Bratislava, Budapest, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Geneva, Hamburg, Istanbul, London, Madrid, Milan, Munich, Paris, Rotterdam, Stockholm, Strasbourg, The Hague, Toulouse, Venice, Vienna and Warsaw. The visits provide opportunities for senior Australian business representatives to engage in dialogue on issues including policy responses to the global financial crisis, economic and fiscal policy, banking and financial services, foreign and security policy, trade, competition, energy and climate change policy, infrastructure, research and innovation. The Missions also provide a valuable opportunity for Australian business leaders to work with Australian Government representatives in Europe - principally with Australian Embassies and Austrade offices - to profile Australia’s economic credentials and capabilities and promote opportunities for European investment in Australia. Mission Leader & Endorsements The Council was delighted to have the leadership and participation of EABC Chairman and former Premier of New South Wales, the Hon Nick Greiner AC, for the 2016 Mission to Zurich, Bern, Brussels and Helsinki. The Prime Minister of Australia, the Hon Malcolm Turnbull MP, also endorsed the mission as an important initiative to foster greater economic relations between Australia and Europe.
