Thus, the focus of our attention would be: i) trade agreements between Macau, EU and mainland China; ii) any legislation adopted within EU that could affect, impair or improve international trade, in particular with Greater China (including mainland China, HK, Macau and Taiwan); iii) any international agreement to which EU becomes a party that could affect, impair or improve international trade, in particular with Greater China; iv) any regular meetings or summits, in particular with a focus on trade or investment, with Macau, Hong Kong and mainland China; v) any legislation adopted within EU or any international agreement enacted by EU that could affect, impair or improve investment from Europe in greater china and vice-versa.
Communication Activities: The Macau European Chamber of Commerce published, together with the Institute of the European Studies of Macau a Report on the role of European Union in stimulating Macau’s development in 2017. It took European Union’s current growth strategy – Europe 2020 - in terms of innovation and urban planning, to relate with Macau’s Five-Year Plan, along with suggestions from the local Macau business community, hence, providing some suggestions of supportive measures and strategies for stimulating Macau’s development and economic diversification.
