Brussels appeals to Brazil 09/02/12
Following on 10 years during which Belgium-Brazil trade more than doubled, Brussels Invest & Export has now launched a promotional campaign aimed at Brazilian federations, law firms looking for European partners, multinational corporations and financial organisations. Brussels provides a perfect bridgehead for Brazilian companies anxious to develop their activities in Europe. The city’s central location is matched by its status as the capital of Europe and the home of the institutions shaping the European Union’s directives and regulations in such vital fields as energy, environment and competition rules. Added to this, Brussels features a tax regime much more favourable to foreign holding companies and expat business people than the terms offered by other European countries. These advantages, supported by the ‘welcome pack’ offered by Brussels Invest & Export, are incentives for Brazilian business to look seriously at Brussels as the base for their European activities.
