'EU signal needed' for investment agreement

By Fu Jing and Tuo Yannan | China Daily | Updated: 2013-09-28 08:59

Beijing is still awaiting a signal from Brussels on the launch of long-awaited negotiations for an investment agreement that would expand bilateral market access, said a senior Chinese diplomat.

"We're prepared, but we're still waiting for the European Union to say it is ready to talk," the diplomat surnamed Zhang told China Daily. "We have not agreed on timing, although both sides are committed to moving as soon as possible."

Zhang said that the EU is still waiting member states' agreement to move ahead. It began seeking such agreements in May.

It is expected that member states will make their final decisions in October. Meanwhile, the European Parliament has recently given strong indications that it wants a greater say in the negotiation process.

Zhang made the comments after Wu Hailong, China's ambassador to the EU, said that the long-awaited negotiations could start "hopefully within a few months". He didn't specify any date in his address at Wednesday's gathering in Brussels to celebrate China's National Day, which falls on Oct 1.

But Wu said the coming few months will see several high-level trade, economic and political and strategic events involving Beijing and Brussels. It's very likely that the negotiations will be officially announced at the EU-China summit, scheduled to be held in Beijing in November.

China has already entered into investment protection agreements with most of the member states of the EU. But the Lisbon Treaty authorized the European Commission to negotiate unified agreements on trade and investment on behalf of all member states, once those nations have authorized it to do so.

China and EU had ambitions to speed up the investment and trade negotiations in 2012. They agreed last September to launch negotiations on a bilateral investment agreement as soon as possible.

But at the same time, the EC launched anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations into China's multi-billion-dollar exports of solar panel products. Analysts said that Brussels' action has greatly affected bilateral relations, even though an amicable solution was reached.

The top leaders of Beijing and Brussels have not met each other since China's new leadership began to assume power starting last November. But the highest leaders of Beijing have met those of Washington and Moscow at least twice in the previous six months.
