The China Electronic Chamber of Commerce Electronic Cigarette Professional Committee and the Independent European Vape Alliance (IEVA) held a successful online international situation exchange meeting on June 8th, 2022.

The meeting began on 9:00 a.m. Britain Time (4:00 p.m. Beijing time) and lasted approximately one and a half hours. At the start of the conference, Secretary-General Ao displayed a handwritten letter sent from overseas by the president of the IEVA Association, Mr. Dahlman. He expressed his appreciation for the E-Cigarette Committee's contribution to the worldwide e-cigarette business in the letter.

Later, Secretary-General Ao briefed the two IEVA representatives on the special committee's recent work focus, which included improving the office, expanding the live broadcast communication center, establishing an international organization, and encouraging trades and exchanges. According to Secretary-General Ao, the recently announced "E-Cigarette Management Measures" are expected to fundamentally fix a number of issues, including the disorderly development of China's e-cigarette business. The publication of the new policy will aid in the standardization, legalization, and integrity development of China's e-cigarette sector. The two delegates agreed and expressed their understanding. Secretary-General Ao answered the two delegates' comprehensive inquiries, which increased trust and communication between the two sides.

 
Following the most recent e-cigarette industry exchange in China, Mr. Cipri Boboi and Ms. Sonya Herrmann discussed the evolution of the e-cigarette sector in Europe. At the moment, the disposable e-cigarette market in Europe is expanding significantly, with stable growth in the first half of this year. The growth rate in the second half of this year is likely to outpace that in the first half. At the moment, European e-cigarette policy is focused on environmental protection. While the EU is designing the e-cigarette industry's tax policy, it is hoped that future e-cigarette goods would pay attention to environmental preservation in terms of raw materials and consumption, such as the introduction of recyclable e-cigarette products. According to Secretary-General Ao, Chinese e-cigarette companies will be brave in shouldering social duties, researching and creating more environmentally friendly products, protecting minors, and offering safer and more compliant products to consumers worldwide.

Through a live internet broadcast, the two sides also discussed the necessary preparations and procedures for visiting China's e-cigarette facility. IEVA has indicated strong interest and set a date for a recent visit. Shenzhen is the worldwide e-cigarette industry hub, accounting for more than 90% of global e-cigarette supply. Domestic electronic cigarettes exports reached 138.3 billion yuan in 2021. Although the global epidemic has made international travel more difficult, it cannot stymie China's e-cigarette exports or international cooperation. The Committee encourages more direct and efficient communication between Chinese supplier firms and overseas brands and distributors, as well as more direct and efficient communication between Chinese and foreign enterprises.
