Présentation du nouveau Livre Blanc 2013-2014 de la Chambre Européenne.
Presented by Mr. Frederik CORNU, Director, Business Development, Bureau Veritas, European Chamber's Shanghai Board Vice-Chairman, French Chamber of Commerce & Industry Board Member
While China could previously make a choice between economic restructuring and maintaining growth, economic restructuring is now necessary to maintain growth, according to the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China, which launched in September 2013 the 13th annual edition of its primary lobbying document, the European Business in China Position Paper 2013/2014.
This 13th annual edition of the Position Paper offers both Chinese policy-makers over 800 recommendations that draw directly from the knowledge and expertise of the European Chamber's 1,700 member companies. The recommendations were formulated over a six-month consultative process by 34 separate working groups, covering 26 vertical industry sectors and 8 horizontal cross-industry sectors, as well as through 8 local papers offering recommendations to municipal governments.
Over the coming year, the European Chamber will present the Position Paper to relevant Chinese authorities at both ministerial level and working level to identify possibilities to cooperate together to promote the implementation of these recommendations. The new Position Paper has just been presented to European authorities, both at the European Union and in EU member states in September and October as part of the European Chamber's annual European Tour to 15 European cities.
