Dear Ms. Särav, dear Ms. Allikmaa,

We hope this message finds you well.

We are writing on behalf of the European Commission's Directorate-General
for Trade (DG Trade), which has commissioned a Sustainability Impact
Assessment (SIA) of the EU-Thailand Free Trade Agreement. The SIA is being
conducted by Milieu Consulting, in cooperation with the London School of
Economics Consulting, Tutwa Europe, and the Thailand Development Research
Institute (TDRI). A letter of support from DG Trade is attached.

More information about the SIA in support of the EU-Thailand FTA
negotiations is available on the dedicated website.
<https://euthailandsia.org/>

We are reaching out to ask for your support in disseminating a short
business survey to your members and network. The survey aims to collect
opinions on the EU-Thailand FTA from businesses, including SMEs, to feed
into the negotiations.  It takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and
covers trade conditions, expected impacts, and business concerns related
to the FTA. You can find the link to the survey here
<https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/2026-TC-busSMEs-SIA-EU-Thailand> .
It is also available in Thai and all official EU languages.  The survey
closes on 8 May 2026. We would be very grateful if you could circulate the
link to your members by email, newsletter, or any other channel you
consider appropriate. Your support will ensure that your members’
experience and viewpoints are well reflected in the study and, by
extension, in the FTA negotiations.

Should you require any further details or wish to discuss the study in
more depth, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

Thank you for your support.

Regards,

Chara
