Dear Working Group Member,
The European Chamber is pleased to invite you to the next joint Working Group meeting. It will be held on Wednesday, 16 October, 4pm-6pm, at the European Chamber Beijing and Shanghai offices via videoconference.
At this meeting, we will provide an update on the annual European Tour, during which a Chamber delegation travels to Brussels and other EU Member States capitals to present the newly released Position Paper and convey key Chamber messages related to the business environment for foreign companies in China. In conjunction with this, this meeting is intended for members to discuss and develop the Working Group’s lobby action plan, which identifies the key Chinese government stakeholders that the Working Group will lobby for the upcoming months.
The final part of the meeting will be dedicated to Chapter-specific discussions. SH Construction would like to propose organising regular roundtables with diverse local government ministries to discuss topics of mutual interest related to energy, environment and sustainable construction. In order to refine potential topics of discussion, we would like to receive members’ feedback to gain a better understanding of what particular areas of sustainable construction/urbanisation are of the highest concern of and/or interest to members.
Tentative Agenda
- overview of Brussels Circuit/European Tour
- Q&A session / roundtable discussion on future lobby action plan
- SH Chapter discussion on possibility of regular government roundtables
As always, we welcome your suggestions for agenda topics and possible speakers for this and future meetings.
If you would like to attend this meeting, please register with Ms. Jessica Kang at yfkang@europeanchamber.com.cn by Tuesday, 15 October COB.
