Dear Members,
We are starting the process to update the EUCCC Position Paper 2011/2012. This year, we intend to "muscle" the recommendations from the local chapters and we are looking forward to your active contribution!
The Position Paper is the Chamber's key lobbying document and is widely recognized by the Chinese Government, European Commission, and the media as the authoritative voice of EU business in China. The paper itself is used extensively for policy considerations, bilateral discussions, cooperation projects and background information for the media and lobbying efforts in the following year.
The local paper plays an important role for local authorities to better understand the mission of the European Chamber and the issues of its Members. It allows for the concerns of the Local Chapter to be raised in a highly credible and legitimate way to the local authorities. This section is also often brought to the attention of central authorities by high-level local authorities.
Please, use this opportunity to have a voice on one of the most influential Position Papers in China.
We are organizing the process with the following steps:
Mar.14th – questionnaire sent to Members for inputs
Mar.20th - recommendations from Members reach Chamber's Tianjin Office
Mar.23rd – the Tianjin Board discusses key recommendations with Members
Apr – draft
May - feedback to Members by email
September - publication
Attach two documents:
- The position paper of last year for your reference. This year we will only publish the part III (on our concern and their related recommendations).

- The questionnaire. Please send your contribution no later than Mar.20th midnight.

Thanks for your continuous support!
The Board of EUCCC Tianjin Chapter
