This coming autumn there will be a EU-China summit. EU’s trade commissioner Peter Mandelson will be presenting a Communication on trade and investment in China which will analyse the impact of China on the global economy, and how the Union should respond.
Mandelson: “It will focus, in particular, on key challenges such as intellectual property, market access issues and investment opportunities.
