The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China and the International Federation of Invest Shenzhen are delighted to invite you to the launch of the European Business in China – Business Confidence Survey 2017, on 13 June in Shenzhen.
中国欧盟商会以及深圳市国际投资推广联合会诚邀您参加6月13日在深圳举行的《中国欧盟商会—商业信心调查 2017》新闻发布会。
The Business Confidence Survey 2017 brings together the input of over 500 senior representatives of the European Chamber’s member companies to provide an annual overview of their performance and outlook from within the Chinese market. Some of the key findings of the report include the following:
今年的《中国欧盟商会---商业信心调查2017》汇集了超过500位在华欧洲企业高层代表对于其过去一年在中国的运营情况回顾以及对于中国市场的展望,重点包括:
1.Revenues and earnings before interest and taxes improved, without any marked increase in optimism about the long-term business outlook.
公司收入和息税前利润有所增长,但从长期看来仍然存在挑战
2.The top regulatory barriers faced by European business remain the same, and there is a lack of confidence that this situation will improve over the next five years.
欧洲企业仍面对一些主要监管障碍,对于未来五年内形势能否改善也缺乏信心
3.European companies are very positive about President Xi’s anti-corruption campaign and the incremental improvements to China’s IPR protection regime.
欧洲企业高度评价习主席开展的反腐活动以及逐步健全的知识产权保护机制
4.There is a disproportionate enforcement of environmental legislation against foreign-invested enterprises, state-owned enterprises and Chinese privately-owned enterprises.
相较于中国国有企业和中国私营企业,中国环境法规针对外资企业的执行更为严格
5.European companies report increased competition from Chinese privately-owned companies as their capacity for innovation increases.
欧洲企业认为中国本土私营企业的创新能力加强使得它们更具有竞争力
6.The EU-China Comprehensive Agreement on Investment must be completed to give European business the confidence it needs to ramp up investment in China.
达成中欧全面投资协定将为在华欧洲企业增添信心并促进其在华投资
