European Business in China Position Paper Launch 2014/2015 Go back »

2014-09-10 | Shanghai

Within just two years of taking power, China’s leaders have laid bold groundwork for reforms, but implementation is crucial and many difficult steps lie ahead. China’s leadership must remain steadfast and urgently implement the primary tenets of the Third Plenum Decision to avert potential economic and societal crises and shift China onto a more sustainable, inclusive and fairer course, according to the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, which launched the 14th edition of its primary advocacy document, the European Business in China Position Paper 2014/2015, on 9th September.

The Shanghai Launch at the Westin Bund Center Shanghai was attended by more than 120 members. Vice Chairman and Chairman of the European Chamber Shanghai, Stefan Sack, presented the key findings of the 14th annual edition which offers Chinese policy-makers over 800 recommendations that draw directly from the knowledge and expertise of the European Chamber’s 1,800 member companies. The recommendations were formulated over a six-month consultative process by 37 separate working groups, covering 28 vertical industry sectors and nine horizontal cross-industry sectors.

Over the coming year, the European Chamber will present the Position Paper to relevant Chinese authorities at both ministerial and working level to identify possibilities to cooperate together to promote the implementation of these recommendations. The Position Paper will also be presented to European authorities, both with the European Union institutions following the change in leadership of the European Commission later this year and in EU member states as part of the European Chamber’s annual European Tour.
