Regarding using email for communicating with partners, Mr. Charles Mordret, a food processing specialist of the Swiss Import Promotion Programme (SIPPO) stated that email isn't enough for communication. Businesses need to optimize social media sites and platforms to approach customers, partners, and foreign enterprises.

Mr. Tran Ngoc Quan, Vietnam's Trade Counselor in Belgium and the EU said that all products must meet the strictest standards and export requirements of Europe, such as “eco-friendly”, greenhouse gas emission reduction, social and environmental responsibility.
