Project purpose
The project started with a single workshop in order to explore the possibilities for a more extensive co-operation between Chinese and Dutch SEA professionals. After a successful exploratory workshop an annex to the MoU between the Netherlands and Chinese Ministries responsible for Environment was signed and a more elaborate project plan has been agreed upon.
The purpose of this project is:
- To share experiences on effective administrative mechanism and practical approaches for SEA, to the betterment of SEA regulation and practice in both countries;
- To support capacity development for SEA amongst Chinese government officials and SEA professionals;
Ultimately the project will also contribute to the bilateral relations between China and the Netherlands.

- Development of more detailed co-operation ideas.
- Follow-up communication to further develop these ideas, both between the MEP/ACEE and the NCEA, and possibly between the NCEA and other Dutch institutions with relevant expertise.
- Drafting and submission of detailed proposal(s) for further co-operation between China and Netherlands on SEA.
