"China is currently one of the major economic powers in the world, and the second largest trade partner of the EU. I agree with the rapporteur that China’s economic development and its accession to the WTO entail not only benefits but also the responsibility to play a positive role in the global economic order.
I voted in favour of this report, which establishes the existence of an imbalance between the two regions and of the trade advantages China has obtained by various means. At the same time, China must not forget that a lack of economic growth in Europe also entails problems for the Chinese economy. The report therefore recommends continued mutuality in trade.
China still fails to comply in full with WTO rules; the WTO should therefore not grant the country market economy status before 2016 if it does not meet all criteria. Due to Chinese intervention, European enterprises are unable to access the country’s national market; furthermore, Chinese regulations lack clarity and transparency.
Foreign investors are unable to participate in Chinese public procurements on an equal footing with their Chinese competitors, which is in contrast with the treatment applied to foreigners in European public procurement. The protection of intellectual property rights in China still gives reason for concern, and the country should therefore take action to combat counterfeiting and piracy."@en1
