Dear Finance & Taxation Working Group Member,
We are delighting to invite you to attend our next Finance & Taxation WG meeting to be held on Wednesday, 17th January 2010, 9:00 AM at our Beijing office.
As you may know, the Finance & Taxation Working Chair and Vice Chair play a crucial role in driving the Working Group which includes a leadership role in the drafting of the Position Paper, communicating key messages to the Chinese and European Government, 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 that has the time and willingness to support the group. Previous participation in the Working Group is also highly valued (a general job description is attached).
Anyone who is possibly interested in running for the position of Chair or Vice Chair is welcome and kindly requested to inform the Chamber, xsanspowell@euccc.com.cn, by noon 10h March.
In addition, we will also begin our discussions on the Position Paper for 2010. 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. For your reference, please find attached the 2009 Finance & Taxation WG Position Paper.
We will also focus our attention on the key recommendations for the new Position Paper of the Working Group. Please find enclosed the excel folder listing the 09/10.
