Dear Working Group member,

With China set to launch its national emissions trading system (ETS) by the end of the year, most probably in the context of the 23rd Session of the Conference of the Parties (COP23) to the UN Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Bonn (from 6th to 17th November), and the State Council set to approve the ETS implementing plan, many questions still remain unanswered. Up to these days, China has been struggling to get data for all industrial sectors and to determine the allocation of allowances.

During this meeting, we will have a discussion about the recent campaign to enforce environmental law from the MEP and local environmental protection agencies.

In the past three months some members of the European Chamber have found increased difficulties to operate their business, mainly as a consequence of environmental regulation strictly enforced by the MEP and local environmental protection agencies. In some cases, companies have been requested to stop their production immediately. According to the information received by the European Chamber, the involved areas mainly include Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province, Shandong Province, Guangdong Province, Shanghai and Tianjin.
