Equal Access for All Would Bring about Rebalancing

The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is delighted to invite you to the launch of the European Business in China Position Paper 2012/2013 at:

Sofitel Hyland Shanghai, Ball Room 5
505 East Nanjing Road, Shanghai
Thursday 6th September 2012, 16:00 – 18:00

The upcoming leadership transition provides the opportunity to enact much-needed reforms in China’s approach to foreign and domestic private investment, according to the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, which will launch the 13th annual edition of its primary lobbying document, the European Business in China Position Paper 2012/2013, on Thursday, 6th September, 2012.

China holds a historic opportunity to create the conditions for a second period of sustained growth through a move up the value chain, whereby the marketplace functions to ensure that the most innovative, productive and efficient companies prevail. A fundamental shift in mindset and a determination to reduce state involvement in the business environment is needed to bring this about.

The issues discussed at the press conference will include: 
The positive role European companies can play in helping China reach its goals in relation to rebalancing the economy

- Developing the service sector

- Enhancing environmentally-friendly and advanced technologies

- Encouraging innovation
An overview of the key themes of recommendations to Chinese policymakers

- Increasing market access

- Enhancing transparency and predictability in legislation

- Improving regulatory efficiency

- Encouraging innovation through intellectual property rights protection

At the conference, Mr. Piter de Jong, Vice President of the European Chamber, will present a summary of the key issues in this year’s Position Paper. The second part of the event will focus on the key issues for Shanghai. Participants will receive a copy of the Position Paper and the PowerPoint presentation.
