Yes, sounds fine to me. Although
"Do this expression is correct"
is very wrong I'm afraid.
I think what you meant is either
'Is this expresson done correctly?'
or
'Is this expression correct?'
or
'Does this expression make sense?'
But the main sentence is good in my opinion

Sorry to be really petty. Should be 'Thank you for all your advice'
But you're very welcome
Hello Jeremye,
Willing doesn't mean eager in this context, and I suspect you mean that it wishes to penetrate rather than that it is grudgingly ready to do so. If I were you I'd say keen to penetrate.
That is exactly what I thought you wanted to say, and why I mentioned the point. To be willing to do something is to be ready or to be prepared to do something if you have to. You mean to be eager or keen to do something, which is to wish or want to do it, which is very different. If you still don't understand, send me a PM and I'll explain in French.
Isn't there a verb missing? What is the whole sentence?
[...] a local company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange, willing to penetrate the European market.
[...] a local company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange, willing to penetrate the European market.
That depends on whether the the last part to the sentence is describing the company as an adjectival clause or whether the last clause is describing what the company was wanting to do. It's a bit unclear from the short extract that we have.
