At this meeting, we will launch the discussion on the 2016/2017 Position Paper. The Position Paper is the Chamber’s key lobbying document and is widely recognised by the Chinese and European governments, EU institutions, business associations and the media as the authoritative voice of EU business in China. It is used extensively for policy considerations, bilateral discussions, cooperation projects and background information. The value and importance of a well-written and well-represented Information and Communication Technology Position Paper cannot be overstated. Members are encouraged to review last year’s Position Paper and identify internally the key issues for this upcoming year. Keeping with the same structure as previous editions, members are strongly encouraged to come to this meeting with recommendations that the working group should consider. Please find here the 2015/2016 Information and Communication Technology Position Paper for your reference.
