As you may know, the Working Group Chair and Vice Chair/s 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 (Role and Responsibility plus Code of Conduct for WG Chairpersons are attached together with 2010 WG Annual Report).
The WG election is a very important event in the WG calendar as it decides the Chairpersons for the group for the year ahead – we encourage as many of our members to attend as possible to have their say in the leadership/representation of the group. Please register your attendance for the meeting by contacting Ms. Jing Zhou at jzhou@euccc.com.cn by COB 23rd March 2011.
