On 18 July 2013 I attented the reception at the EU Delegation on the occasion of the visit of Vice-President Tajani and Commissioner Potocnik. Their joint mission to China (Beijing) was to focus on the theme of “Green Growth”. They were accompanied by a delegation of European companies. The mission has three main objectives:
1) to promote sustainable and inclusive growth and business opportunities on both sides;
2) to help European companies and in particular SMEs to operate in China;
3) to promote EU-China business contacts and opportunities.
The program was co-organised by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), the European Union, the EUCCC, the EU-SME Centre, the IPR/SME Helpdesk and Enterprise Europe Network, among others.

Pictured are Mr. Antonio Tajani (European Commission’s Vice-President responsible for Industry and Entrepreneurship), Mr. Janez Potočnik (European Commissioner responsible for Environment), EU Ambassador Markus Ederer, and Mr. Davide Cucino (President of the European Chamber- EUCCC).
