Global | Publication | January 2023
Following a one-month consultation on the draft Administrative Measures for Approval Registration of Mid-to-Long Term Foreign Debts of Enterprises in September 2022 (see link to our earlier legal update), on 10 January 2023 the National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC (NDRC) has promulgated the Administrative Measures for the Approval Registration of Mid-to-Long Term Foreign Debt of Enterprises《企业中长期外债审核登记管理办法》(国家发展和改革委员会令第56号) (NDRC Order No. 56).
NDRC Order No. 56 establishes the foreign debt approval registration system, which, with effect from 10 February 2023, will replace the foreign debt filing registration system under NDRC Circular No. 20441, with NDRC Circular No. 2044 being repealed on the same day.
In this legal briefing, we will focus on the key changes to the foreign debt filing registration regime under NDRC Circular No. 2044 (as supplemented by NDRC Circular No. 2044 Practice Manual2) and highlight the relevant aspects of NDRC Order No. 56 where further guidance from NDRC (in form of new practice manual for NDRC Order No. 56 or other forms of Q&A) would be welcomed to facilitate the administration of the new foreign debt approval registration regime.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR or the Court) recently ruled in Verein KlimaSeniorinnen Schweiz & Ors v. Switzerland (Application No. 53600/20) that Switzerland had breached the European Convention of Human Rights (the Convention) by not taking sufficient action against climate change. In particular, it found a breach of the right to respect for private and family life contained in Article 8 of the Convention, based on Switzerland’s failure to mitigate the impact of climate change on the lives, health, well-being and quality of life of its citizens. It also ruled that Switzerland had breached the right to a fair trial in terms of Article 6, in that the domestic courts failed to examine the merits of the applicants’ complaints, including the scientific evidence. In this article we consider the key features of this landmark judgment, which has wide ramifications for Member States of the Convention.
