Lizza Bomassi's commentary quoted in The Japan Times

Lizza Bomassi's commentary on the three ways the EU can engage with Indo-Pacific trade was highlighted in The Japan Times. The article puts forward Lizza's concrete recommendations on how the EU can engage substantively with the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) without requiring full harmonisation or membership.

Lizza argues that EU and the CPTPP should work together, aligning positions without creating hard links. 

"This could include launching a structured digital dialogue between the EU and CPTPP members, exploring observer status on CPTPP working groups, or signing memoranda of understanding focused on regulatory interoperability. These steps would allow the EU to engage substantively without requiring full harmonisation or membership," she writes in her commentary.
