Dear F&B WG Member,
The EUCCC is pleased to invite you to the Monthly F&B Working Group meeting on Tuesday, 21st April at 9am. Please note that this meeting will be taking place simultaneously in Shanghai & Beijing office via video conference.
Proposed Agenda:
1/ Update on Food Safety Law / Implementation Regulations

3/ Position Paper 2009 & Key Recommendations
4/ Any Other Business (AOB) – Please kindly indicate the proposed issue together with your confirmation of participation.
At this meeting we will hold the 2009 Food & Beverage WG Election. As you may know, the WG Chair and Vice Chairs play a crucial role in driving the WG which includes identifying the key concerns of business sectors, drafting the Position Paper, communicating key messages to the Chinese and European Government, developing and promoting the WG activities in coordination with the BM. The desired characteristics of a Chair and Vice Chair are a senior industry representative with relevant industry expertise and government contacts that has the time and willingness to support the group. Previous participation in the WG is also highly valued. These honorary positions represent a tremendous opportunity represent the F&B WG at very senior levels. Also attached is a PDF on the role of Chair and Vice Chairs.
Any member who is possibly interested in running for the position of Chair or Vice Chair is therefore kindly requested to inform the Chamber by contacting Ms. Adele Wang at abwang@euccc.com.cn by Friday, 17th April COB.
As the Position Paper forms the basis of all our lobbying, WG members are strongly encouraged to consult widely within your own company so that we can evaluate status & trends / prioritise recommendations / identify new issues for the 2009 Paper.
We look forward to seeing you at our April meeting and would appreciate if you could register with Ms.Catherine Chou at cchou@euccc.com.cn and indicate the attendance city by 20th April. Thanks for your continuous support and engagement with the F&B Working Group and the EUCCC.
