EUROPA 2006 -- China Europa 2006, which will be held from
December 6-8 in Le Havre, France, is the first conference
to be held on Chinese-European industrial sector
relationships. The event is primarily for European and
Chinese CEO's that wish to forge long term industrial
partnerships and sign commercial agreements in the
aeronautics, automobile, industrial equipment, metallurgy,
energy, plastics, electronics, eco-industry and logistics
segments.

    For three days, China Europa will be the scene of
networking and long-term business opportunity between
French officials, European businessmen, and Chinese CEOs
that wish to grow their activities on the Chinese and
French markets. 

    Given the dynamic growth of Europe-Chinese trade
relations (they currently exceed EUR100 billion
bilaterally, with Chinese exports and imports increasing 20
percent annually) China Europa will promote productive
dialogue between enterprises while at the same time
providing them with the information they need to deploy
their development strategies in China and Europe.

    Le Havre, which is France's leading foreign trade port
and the country's number one platform for trade with Asia
(Chinese import/export activities account for 20 percent of
the port's total traffic, a figure that increased 25 percent
from 2004-2005), shares with China the distinction of being
the premier port for trade between Asia and Europe.  

    Organized by Le Havre Developpement, China Europa is
also the beneficiary of official support from the French
Ministry of Foreign Trade and the Ministry of Trade of the
People's Republic of China. 

    China Europa will be held from December 6-8 at Docks
Cafe at Palais des Expositions in Le Havre.
