Dear Working Group Member,
The European Chamber is pleased to invite you to the next Carbon Market Working Group meeting. It will be held on Monday, March 11th, 9:00-11:00am, at the European Chamber Beijing office.
We will be holding the Chair Elections at the meeting and we are pleased to announce the candidates for the Chair and Vice-Chair positions:
Chair Position: Ms. Stephanie Kwan
Vice-Chair Position: Mr. Jussi Nykanen
At this meeting we also will begin discussions on the 2013-2014 Position Paper. The Position Paper is the Chamber’s key lobbying document and is widely recognised by the Chinese and European governments, EU institutions, business associations and the media as the authoritative voice of EU business in China. It is used extensively for policy considerations, bilateral discussions, cooperation projects and background information. The value and importance of a well-written and well-represented Position Paper cannot be overstated.
We are also delighted to invite Mr. Jeff Huang, the Managing Director of Greater China of IntercontinentalExchange (ICE) as a guest participant to our meeting. Mr. Huang will provide a brief introduction to the pilot projects in China and to discuss some of the potential areas that members can engage further in the Chinese ETS. Mr. Huang has been closely engaged with the 7 pilot projects, particularly with Guandong, Shenzhen and Shanghai, and has recently provided the overview of key recommendations at IETA “Emission Trading Dialogue for Guangdong Industrial Enterprises”.
