Reception for EU Ambassador Brinkmann

A great success!!

Thanks to those who participated in another successful event, put together by our events committee (with a thank you to our Sponsors DFAIT, EU Delegation, Ingle Insurance, Konzelmann Estate Winery and Pilsner Urquell), to welcome the new EU Ambassador to Toronto - His first public meeting to the business community.

Over 120 distinguished guests attended, the event was launched by our President, who introduced MPP Monte Kwinter, a great supporter of EUCOCIT, who has attended numerous events.  He brought a message of greeting from the Minister and the Ontario Government and then proceeded to explain how seriously the Ontario Government took these negotiations and how important the EU was to Ontario.

He was followed by Ambassador Brinkmann, who was most gracious in thanking EUCOCIT for arranging this event and for having so many people attend. He then went on to explain in great detail the status of the negotiations as it related to the various areas. Following his presentation he stayed till the end of the evening to answer individual questions, as he was continually surrounded by a most interested group of guests who wanted to meet him.
 
We look forward to your continued support and participation in our upcoming events
