INTERNATIONAL input by leading experts will be considered in the drafting of China’s first energy law, industry executives told the China Daily on Friday.

According to Wu Zhonghu, a drafter, the draft law is expected to be submitted to the State Council later this year, following an international conference scheduled for the next weeks. Zhou Feng’ao, another member of the law drafting team, noted that China’s energy industry had its own particular features, but that made it all the more imperative for drafters to learn about the experiences of other countries.
