"Let me tell you that we will be much more successful if we do it collectively rather than separately.
Frankly, I do not see that our individual Member States have enough leverage to impose some kind of measures on China. The European Union collectively can engage with China, and that is what we have been doing. We are in favour of free trade, as you know, but we are also in favour of fair trade. When we have believed there is evidence of dumping for instance, we have launched anti-dumping measures regarding China. It was not easy because some Member States opposed those measures, but we took them. Every time we meet the Chinese leadership, we discuss intellectual property rights and the need for them to respect some basic principles so that we can keep open trade with them. That is exactly our agenda: to engage the Chinese positively whilst also being firm in terms of our trade interests.
By the way, this was quite clearly expressed at the last summit."@en1
