China’s emphasis on green and sustainable development offers a fertile ground for businesses in sustainable urban development. Integral to this are initiatives such as China’s Five-Year Plan, the Urban Renewal Action Plan (2023–2025), and local programmes for green development and urban planning. These initiatives set forth ambitious goals for achieving ultra-low energy consumption in construction. They have also laid the groundwork for the adoption of green transportation projects. European SMEs, with their established practices in eco-friendly construction and sustainable transportation, are well-positioned to make a significant impact in China’s growing green and sustainable urban development sector and to export their expertise and sustainable solutions.

Retailers and wholesalers express serious concerns over the draft Late Payment Regulation introduced by the Commission in September 2023. The impact on businesses and especially SMEs in Europe will be disproportionate and dramatic if the proposal is not seriously reconsidered. The draft Regulation goes beyond its intent to address late payments (breach of contract) and is in fact an absolute restriction of freedom to negotiate payment terms beyond 30 days. No EU country has rules that are as drastic. Countries with stricter requirements, such as the Netherlands, have some form of derogation or flexibility in place. EuroCommerce is the principal European organisation representing the retail and wholesale sector. It embraces national associations in 27 countries and 5 million companies, including leading global players and many small businesses. Over a billion times a day, retailers and wholesalers distribute goods and provide an essential service to millions of business and individual customers. The sector generates 1 in 7 jobs, offering a varied career to 26 million Europeans, many of them young people.

Selling out Nigeria - Shell's irresponsible divestment
28 Feb 2024
SOMO Research
Shell entered the Niger Delta during colonial rule... and now, it is leaving behind petroleum-contaminated rivers and streams and vast areas of polluted land that have devastated the lives and livelihoods of millions of people living in the Niger Delta. Shell claims it cleans up, but our new report “Selling Out Nigeria – Shell’s irresponsible divestment” shows how historical pollution remains a serious issue and how Shell is trying to avoid responsibility for this despite the billions of dollars it has earned from the oil. Shell must be made to clean up the damage and pay for decommissioning of the oil infrastructure before it leaves. There can be no justice in the energy transition if fossil fuel companies can walk away from contexts like the Niger Delta, which is one of the most oil-polluted places on Earth. We interviewed people in the Niger Delta, whose livelihoods have been affected by the oil pollution as well as Nigerian activists who are seeking to hold fossil fuel giants like Shell accountable. 📽️ Filmed and directed by Simpa Samson from Abuja in Nigeria.

Understanding Connectivity Issues Between Europe and China
27 Feb 2024
EU SME Centre
Understanding connectivity issues in China and Asia is crucial for European companies. The complex landscape of regulatory, technical, and cultural differences between Europe and China makes these issues difficult to navigate. By understanding and addressing connectivity issues in services such as Internet licensing, cloud computing, SASE, cybersecurity, and data connectivity, companies can establish a strong presence in the region and remain in compliance with the regulations. In turn, this presence can contribute to foster successful international communication and collaboration.
