During these past nine months, the Chairs of the working group overcame difficulties and led the WG to see things happen: the drafting of the Consumer Finance & Non-Banking Financial Institutions Position Paper was realised, a meeting with Shanghai Municipal Financial Bureau was held, a lobby letter advocating for factoring was sent and several comments on leasing regulation have been submitted to CBIRC. On top of that our counterparts at the EU Delegation has become increasingly aware of our industry and the issues we face thanks to our continued activities. To see through our end goal of establishing a level playing field and build a platform for strong EU-China cooperation, more advocacies will need to be carried out in the second half of the year, and we are especially looking forward to realise WG members’ expectation on sales and lease back and factoring business advocacies.

During these past eight months, the Chairs of the working group overcame difficulties and led the WG to make things happen: the drafting of the Shipbuilding Position Paper was realised, a call with EU DG-Trade counterparts in Brussels discussing the high tech supply chain was initiated, lobby actions advocating for business restart in cruise were taken and comments on the European Commission’s White Paper on Foreign Subsidies has been submitted. To see through our end goal of establishing a level playing field and build a platform for strong EU-China cooperation, more advocacies will need to be carried out in the second half of the year, and we are especially looking forward to the EU-China Shipbuilding Dialogue later this year. In order to realise WG members’ expectation, we would like to meet you and invite you to share your experience, your ideas and perspectives, but most of all to meet each other and have fun.

Let this be an evening to celebrate our commitment and support for each other!
