The EU has the largest single market in the world. We are open for business but we are attached to reciprocity, level playing field & values.

Today, the EU & China concluded in principle negotiations on an investment agreement.
 
For more balanced trade & business opportunities.
We will improve the status quo for a fairer treatment of our companies:
➡Transparency on subsidies & disciplines on 🇨🇳 state owned enterprises
➡More market access, certainty & predictability for EU businesses
➡No more forced technology transfers & other distortive practices
This Agreement will uphold our interests & promotes our core values. It provides us a lever to eradicate forced labour. We are engaging with China to:

🔹Protect our climate under #ParisAgreement
🔹Promote rule-based multilateralism
