The European Chamber announces its 5th annual Business Confidence Survey

Beijing, 25th June 2008. The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China today launches its online questionnaire to its member companies for its fifth annual Business Confidence Survey. Building on last year's successful relationship and resulting publication, the survey will again be produced in partnership with Roland Berger Strategy Consultants. The survey aims to learn more about the current business environment in which member companies are operating, as well as to identify in-depth reasons behind their business strategies and the challenges and successes of their operations in China. It will also provide a number of case studies to highlight specific issues.

The survey will cover the following topics:

Company Profile and Statistics Financial Performance Regulatory Environment and Outlook Company Strategy Human Resources Intellectual Property Rights Protection Sustainable Business Beijing Olympic Games and their Preparations

Joerg Wuttke, President of the European Chamber, said, "The survey will tell us how European businesses are responding to the fast changing, indeed tumultuous, environment in China, and where they see their China operations going in the years ahead. This will have important implications for policy-makers in China and Europe, now that Europe is China's largest trade partner."

As a European and global leader in top-level strategy consulting, Roland Berger stands at the forefront of connecting the European and Chinese business communities and leveraging their unique understanding of the market to help European companies successfully manage their challenges in China.

Charles-Edouard Bouee, President & Managing Partner of Roland Berger Strategy Consultants Greater China, said, "We have incorporated our accumulated perspectives into this year's survey design and have adjusted the survey content from last year's by adding improved tools and features for in-depth trend analysis. These modifications will help better reflect the true business sentiment of European companies in China."

The online questionnaire has been distributed to all current members of the European Union Chamber of Commerce in China requesting their completion. The Business Confidence Survey will conclude with a bilingual print publication, which will be launched this November at a Press Conference in Beijing. The launch of the survey is purposely set one week before the EU-China Business Summit in Lyon, France and will be an important barometer of business at the annual summit.
