Dear Banking & Securities Working Group Member,
We are delighted to invite you to the Banking & Securities Working Group meeting to be held on March 25th 2011, starting at 15:00 at the European Chamber’s Office in Beijing (please refer to the address above) and with the Shanghai office joining via video conference.
At this meeting the discussion will focus on the preparation of the Banking & Securities Position Paper 2011/2012 and the issues and recommendations that should be included. As the Position Paper forms the basis of our lobbying, members are strongly encouraged to consult widely within their own company in advance of the meeting so that they can then table such recommendations for discussion at this meeting. Last year’s Position Paper is attached for your reference.

Working Group Chair Elections 2011-2012
As you may know, the Banking & Securities Working Chair and Vice Chairs 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 Chairs 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.
Currently, Mr. Jens Ruebbert (Deutsche Bank) is a candidate for Chair and Mr. Fredrik Ektander (SEB) is candidate for Vice Chair.
Should you wish to be considered for the position of Chair or Vice-Chair(s) please submit a short bio and letter of motivation to Xavier-Lluis Sans Powell in Beijing (xsanspowell@euccc.com.cn), by COB March 21st.
