Meeting with Shenzhen Science and Technology Innovation Committee Director General

On December 5th, European Chamber Vice President and South China Board Chair Klaus Zenkel had a meeting with Shenzhen Science and Technology Innovation Committee Director General Zhang Lin.

Director General Zhang expressed that Shenzhen government is interested in collaborating with European Chamber to establish a frequent working dialogue to understand the carbon footprint calculation mechanisms between China and EU.

Given EU is implementing the carbon tax under CBAM (carbon border adjustment mechanism), with transition period from Oct 2023 to end of 2025, Shenzhen government wishes a unified calculation mechanism can be recognized by both China and EU.
