During this meeting, we will have a discussion about the recent campaign to enforce environmental law from the MEP and local environmental protection agencies.

In the past three months some members of the European Chamber have found increased difficulties to operate their business, mainly as a consequence of environmental regulation strictly enforced by the MEP and local environmental protection agencies. In some cases, companies have been requested to stop their production immediately. According to the information received by the European Chamber, the involved areas mainly include Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province, Shandong Province, Guangdong Province, Shanghai and Tianjin.
