General
1.We note your statement that you are "not owned or controlled by any governmental entity
in any jurisdiction" in connection with your required submission under paragraph
(a). Please supplementally describe the materials that were reviewed and tell us whether
you relied upon any legal opinions or third party certifications such as affidavits as the

of the materials reviewed and legal opinions or third party certifications relied upon in
connection with the required disclosures under paragraphs (b)(2) and (3).

instance, please tell us how the board members’ current or prior memberships on, or
affiliations with, committees of the Chinese Communist Party factored into your
determination. In addition, please tell us whether you have relied upon third party
certifications such as affidavits as the basis for your disclosure.
3.We note that your proposed disclosures pursuant to Items 16I(b)(2), (b)(3) and (b)(5) use
the term “the Company.” It is unclear from the context of these disclosures whether this
term is meant to encompass you and all of your consolidated foreign operating entities or
whether in some instances these terms refer solely to Euro Tech Holdings Company
Limited as you only identify your subsidiaries pursuant to Item 16I(b)(4). Please note that
Item 16I(b) requires that you provide each disclosure for yourself and your consolidated
foreign operating entities, including variable interest entities or similar structures. To
clarify this matter, please provide the information required by each subsection of Item
16I(b) for you and all of your consolidated foreign operating entities.
Please contact Tyler Howes at 202-551-3370 or Christopher Dunham at 202-551-3783
with any questions.
Sincerely,
Division of Corporation Finance
