Experian have a regional model for China (primarily for inward investment to China). We have trade data for the region but no real data on firms leaving to establish elsewhere. Possibly the CBI, EEF may have data.

The Observatory is currently undertaking work in this area in response to this research gap. We are working closely with colleagues at Advantage West Midlands and UKTI on this project, which will inform future regional work on international trade and inward investment. The research will cover a wider range of links with various overseas markets, in particular emerging markets, not just India and China. The report from this research is due to be published in July 2010.

Will you be consulting our MEPs? I know that Malcolm Harbour, Conservative MEP, for the West Midlands recently visited India and China to explore opportunities for improved trade between the EU and those countries. Harbour is steeped in the manufacturing industries of the West Midlands.

The research report referred to in my post above has now been published. The report draws on a wide range of statistical and research sources at both national and regional level. Consultation has primarily been with colleagues from Advantage West Midlands and UK Trade & Investment who were the customers for this work. It will be for them to consult with MEPs and other interested parties to determine how best to respond to our findings.
