The 21st EU-China Summit took place on 9th April 2019 in Brussels. Amidst ongoing US-China trade tensions, enhancing EU-China bilateral trade and investment was at the centre of discussion. This was reflected by the release of a formal joint communique outlining commitments made by the two parties, and included a re-affirmation of their support for the rules-based trading system.
Tough conversations took place during the summit related to investment screening, fair treatment for European businesses operating in China and industrial policy. Of particular interest to business was both sides’ commitment to make “decisive progress” on the Comprehensive Investment Agreement and conclude this landmark agreement by 2020.
To understand more, the European Chamber invites you to join a member-only EU-China Summit debrief by Ulrich Weigl, Minister Counsellor and Head of the Trade Section at the EU Delegation. Mr Weigl will share with members some of the key takeaways from this year’s summit, and how they will directly impact companies on the ground in China.
