Dear member:

Has Greece’s reform process affected your business? Your industry? Your market plans?

Are you aware that between 2010 and today Greece has introduced more than 1465 legislative acts?

Now, the American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce, through its Institute on Economic Policy and Public Governance has compiled, for the first time, the Codification of Legislative Acts.

With this valuable resource you, business organizations, lawyers, researchers, students and the government itself can track all legislative acts to understand how they affect Greece’s economy and most important economic sectors.

Having access to the Codification of Legislative Acts will allow you to plan your business strategy based on today’s legal framework, not yesterday’s guesswork.

Find out how this new electronic data base, easy to use, affordable, and fully cross referenced by sector, ministry, and year, can put you in the know—and one step ahead of the competition.

The Codification of Legislative Acts is now a click away to help you with your business, research, study and work.

TTIP Survey Results

The American Hellenic Chamber presents the results and the conclusions of the electronic survey on Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) that was conducted between April 1 and May 9 2014.

This survey was designed to measure current awareness of TTIP among members of the business community independently of their sector, size or revenues.

The results of the survey would help AmCham to design a new TTIP Awareness Campaign that will provide businesses with the information they need to know on how the TTIP would impact their business sector, their operation, their competitiveness and essentially their potential growth.

Results Presentation

Conclusions


Το Ελληνο-Αμερικανικό Εμπορικό Επιμελητήριο ανακοινώνει τα αποτελέσματα της ηλεκτρονικής έρευνας σχετικά με τη Διατλαντική Συμφωνία Εμπορίου και Επενδύσεων (ΤΤΙΡ).

Το Ελληνο-Αμερικανικό Επιμελητήριο παρουσιάζει τα αποτελέσματα και τα συμπεράσματα της ηλεκτρονικής έρευνας σχετικά με τη Διατλαντική Συμφωνία Εμπορίου και Επενδύσεων (TTIP), η οποία διεξήχθη μεταξύ 1ης Απριλίου και 9 Μαΐου του 2014.

Η έρευνα σχεδιάστηκε για να καταμετρήσει τον βαθμό επίγνωσης σχετικά με την ΤΤΙΡ μεταξύ των μελών της επιχειρηματικής κοινότητας, ανεξάρτητα από τον τομέα, το μέγεθος ή τα έσοδά τους.

Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας θα βοηθήσουν AmCham να σχεδιάσει μια νέα εκστρατεία ευαισθητοποίησης για την ΤΤΙΡ που θα παρέχει στις επιχειρήσεις τις πληροφορίες που πρέπει να γνωρίζουν για το πώς η ΤΤΙΡ θα επηρεάσει τις επιχειρήσεις του τομέα τους, τη λειτουργία τους την ανταγωνιστικότητα τους και βαθμιαία την πιθανή ανάπτυξη τους.
