The European Green Deal sets out a clear path towards realising the European Union (EU's) ambitious target of a 55 per cent reduction in carbon emissions compared to 1990 levels by 2030, and to become a climate-neutral continent by 2050. As part of the EU Green Deal, a proposal for a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has been introduced to prevent the risk of carbon leakage. China exports more manufactured goods and services to the EU than any other country; therefore the CBAM proposal and the amendments adopted by the European Parliament on 22nd June 2022 have raised concern among Chinese stakeholders.

During these past eight months, the Chairs of the working group overcame difficulties and led the WG to make things happen: the drafting of the Shipbuilding Position Paper was realised, a call with EU DG-Trade counterparts in Brussels discussing the high tech supply chain was initiated, lobby actions advocating for business restart in cruise were taken and comments on the European Commission’s White Paper on Foreign Subsidies has been submitted. To see through our end goal of establishing a level playing field and build a platform for strong EU-China cooperation, more advocacies will need to be carried out in the second half of the year, and we are especially looking forward to the EU-China Shipbuilding Dialogue later this year. In order to realise WG members’ expectation, we would like to meet you and invite you to share your experience, your ideas and perspectives, but most of all to meet each other and have fun.

Let this be an evening to celebrate our commitment and support for each other!
