lpv:translated text	"Mr President, China is a strategic partner for the EU and Europe acknowledges China’s status as a rising power on the international stage. In recent years, relations between China and Europe have improved in many fields, particularly in trade, as well as in the field of technical and scientific cooperation. The most important example of strategic partnership is perhaps cooperation on Galileo, the European satellite navigation programme. The EU is China’s most significant partner and investor, while China is the EU’s second largest trading partner. As a rising economic power and permanent member of the UN Security Council and a member of the WTO, China bears increasing responsibility for international security and global peace. It is from this point of view that I would like to draw attention to the information sent by Amnesty International to the Finnish presidency in relation to the EU-China summit to be held on 9 September this year. Amnesty International has drawn attention to violations of human rights in China. Their information raises the question of the use of capital punishment in China, ‘re-education’ through forced labour, arbitrary arrest and detention, the use of torture and persecution against human rights activists and lack of media freedom in that country. Amnesty International has also raised the issue of the sale of arms by China to Sudan as an example of a foreign policy that ignores fundamental human rights in the modern world. The European Union must combine its strategic partnership with China with work to persuade the Chinese authorities to expand political and personal freedoms in the Chinese system and to truly observe the constitution and international treaties to which China is a signatory."@en1
