HCE Working Group Meeting
Position Paper Key Recommendation Identification and Chair Election
Friday March 19th, 13:00 - 15:00
European Chamber Beijing and Shanghai Chapters
Dear Healthcare Equipment Working Group Member,
The European Chamber is delighted to invite you to the 2nd Working Group Meeting of this Month at 13:00 on 19th March (EUCCC Beijing and Shanghai Offices). This meeting will focus on the following aspects
1. The HCE WG Chair and Vice Chair Elections
2. Position Paper Key Recommendation identification
Considering the importance of this meeting, the EU Chamber highly recommends you or your colleagues to participate in this meeting. Please register with Mr. Jon Zhao at jzhao@euccc.com.cn by 16:00 17th March and please kindly specify in which office you will attend the meeting.
As you may know, the HCE Working Chairs and Vice Chair play a crucial role in driving the Working Group, including a leadership role in the drafting of the Position Paper, communicating key messages to the Chinese and European governments, and steering the Working Group meetings. The desired characteristics of a Chair and Vice Chair are a senior industry representative with relevant industry expertise and government contacts who has the time and willingness to support the group. Previous participation in the Working Group is also highly valued.
Towards the structure of the Chair/Vice Chairs, it is possible to have at most two Chairs and two Vice Chairs for the Working Group (a general job description is attached).
Currently, Mr. Davey Han (Siemens) and Mr. Camon Sin (Medtronic) are candidates for Chair, and Ms. Vicky Tao (Roche) and Mr. Zheng Yiman (Johnson and Johnson) are candidates for Vice-Chair.
Equally importantly, the Healthcare Equipment Working Group will also begin discussions on the Position Paper for 2010, in particular with regards to identifying the Key Recommendations. As the Position Paper forms the basis of our lobbying, members are strongly encouraged to consult widely within their own company in advance so that they can then table such recommendations for discussion at this meeting.
Detailed Key Recommendations are attached to this email (excel file) along with a copy of last year's Position Paper (PDF file).
Should you wish to comment on the Key Recommendations and/or add new concerns in the Position Paper before the meeting so that preparations can be made accordingly, please send back the attached template (the Excel File) back to Mark Rushton and Penny Zhao at mrushton@euccc.com.cm and yzhao@euccc.com.cn by 16:00 Thursday, 17th March 2010.
If you have any questions on any of these points, please feel free to contact Mark Rushton at mrushton@euccc.com.cn.
Thank you for your continuous support.
