China's request for Market Economy Status

We're waiting for Scott Brown to read recent responses and update the status.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain information pertaining to China's request for the EU to grant Market Economy Status. I am interested in documents from 2003 until the present.In particular, the following would be helpful:

Documents outlining the Commission's position on MES for China, including proposals/recommendations to the Council on the viability of MES for China.

Documents from DG Trade pertaining to this issue.

Documents from the office of the Commissioner responsible for External Trade, including public speeches making reference to this issue.

Documents between the Commission and the Permanent Representations of the Member States outlining their respective positions on granting China MES.

Thank you in advance for your assistance with this matter and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Scott Brown

Generaldirektion Handel

Dear Mr Brown,

We refer to your e-mail dated 31/01/2013 in which you make a request for access to documents, registered under the above mentioned reference number.

To treat your request in the most efficient way and to best meet your needs, I would like to kindly ask you if you could be more specific in your request and explain what exactly do you mean by ' Documents' , especially when you refer to 'Documents from DG Trade pertaining to this issue', and ' Documents from the office of the Commissioner', as the term could be very vague.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Raluca MOLDOVAN

Dear Raluca Moldovam,

Thank you for your response and the suggestion.

To clarify:
By documents, I meant reports from the Commission used to determine the progress in China's attempts to meet the Commission's criteria for MES. I believe there is a working group commonly referred to as the Article 133 committee, documents relating to the outcome of this committee's review of China's MES would be relevant.
Any formal proposals put forward by the Commission (whether or adopted or not) and explanatory memorandum
relating to this issue would be useful.

I believe that the Trade Commissioner is responsible for updating the Council on China's progress towards MES, therefore written evidence or supporting documentation submitted would be another set of documents I would be interested in.

Yours sincerely,

Scott Brown
