KEYNOTE EVEN

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:

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.

The good news is that China's strategic importance for European companies has increased to unparalleled levels as European companies continue to see increased revenues and profits. Unfortunately, the development of the regulatory is not in step with the development of the market. Despite high level pronouncements regarding the importance of foreign investment and equal treatment for all companies registered in China, the regulatory environment for foreign enterprises conversely appears to have worsened.

At the conference, Mr. Dirk Moens, Secretary General of the European Chamber will present a summary of the key issue in this year's position paper. Representatives of the Chamber's Board Members and Working Groups will also be on hand to answer questions related to their industries. Participants will receive a copy of the Position Paper and the PowerPoint presentation.

To receive the most reliable information about recent developments on the economic and business environment for European Companies in China in particular the Pearl River Delta Region and important policy changes during 2012, you are cordially invited to join the launch of the European Business in China Position Paper 2012/2013. Presentations will be made in three key Pearl River Delta cities, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhuhai.
