The EBC currently works for around 2,500 local European corporate and individual members through fees paid via their respective national chamber of commerce. Some 350 companies participate directly in one or more of the EBC’s 24 industry committees, whose work covers a wide variety of economic sectors.

The EBC works closely with the Delegation of the European Commission in Japan, the national European Embassies, and other business organisations to co-ordinate policy proposals and make suggestions to the Japanese Government on how to create an open environment for trade and investment in Japan.
