We invite European SMEs in China to review the first draft of the 2025/2026 Inter-Chamber SME Working Group Position Paper. The Position Paper is a major lobbying document for European industry in China and is widely recognised by the Chinese and European governments, EU institutions, business associations and the media as the authoritative voice of EU business in China. It is used extensively for policy considerations, bilateral discussions, cooperation projects and background information. The value and importance of a well-written, well-represented and accurate Inter-Chamber SME Working Group Position Paper cannot be overstated, since this document contributes to making our European SMEs’ voices heard and is the basis for our exchange with government stakeholders.
Thus, the Chamber and the EU SME Centre are calling for feedback on the first draft of the Inter-Chamber SME Working Group Position Paper.
How to send your feedback
First, log in with your user account on our website. You can then download the draft in attachment to this post. Please feel free to send any comments, modifications or suggestions to our Advocacy Manager Ms Ester Cañada Amela at before 21st May COB. As the Position Paper is still in the drafting stage, please keep this document confidential and do not distribute it outside the Inter-Chamber SME Working Group.

The Inter-Chamber SME Working Group Position Paper is the product of an annual process of extensive feedback gathering from European SMEs in China conducted through the Inter-Chamber SME Working Group. The Position Paper is our main vehicle for SME advocacy, as it contains the key concerns and recommendations from European SMEs on a given year.
The 2024/2025 Inter-Chamber SME Working Group Position Paper outlined policy and regulatory developments affecting European SMEs in China throughout the past year. Its key recommendations aimed to address issues encountered by small and medium-sized enterprises, including in access to financing, timely payments, and IPR protection.
