The European Chamber Southwest Chapter is delighted to invite you to the launch of the European Business in China Position Paper 2014/2015 in Chongqing on the 22nd October 2014.
The Position Paper is the European Chamber’s most important annual publication. It compiles the latest assessments and concerns of European businesses operating in China with the aim to offer constructive recommendations to China’s policy-makers. These recommendations are offered in the spirit of mutual benefit to improve China’s business environment for both foreign and domestic companies, in order to promote China’s sustainable economic growth and further boost China’s development. The Position Paper 2014/2015 is written bottom-up by the European Chamber’s 1,800 member companies through its working groups and forums.
The European Chamber’s President, Jörg Wuttke, will lead the launch event to local foreign companies and media and present an overview of the Executive Position Paper in addition to answering any questions that you may have.
Insights include:
• On-the-ground insights of the European Chamber’s 28 vertical industry working groups and nine horizontal working groups;
• An overview of how European business in China perceives the reform agenda as outlined in the Decision of the Central Committee’s Third Plenum;
• Opinions on a number of key recent developments and current issues, such as the China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone, the advancement of rule of law in China, the investment environment for foreign companies in China and efforts to improve China’s environment and urbanisation processes, amongst others;
• Impacts of market-based business challenges and the significance of regulatory and market access barriers.
The information in the Position Paper 2014/2015 is based on input and analysis gathered over a year-long period from July 2013 to July 2014. This is the 14th edition of the European Business in China Position Paper.
