"The trade deficit of the EU, which is the main destination for Chinese exports, has more than tripled in the last decade. It is therefore appropriate to think about the competitive advantages and difficulties of the European Union and its Member States; this would be a natural basis for the creation of a coherent strategy with regard to the new global power and the closely related creation of a more ambitious EU industrial and trade policy. Moreover, the growth of the Chinese economy and the successful strategies of Chinese companies overseas should become a reason to stimulate innovative solutions in the EU so that it can maintain its position as a leader in a globalised world. I am concerned by the inadequate protection of intellectual property rights in China, which is harming the European economy and, in particular, small and medium-sized enterprises. The controversial ACT will not contribute to a solution in this regard, since China did not even participate in the negotiations. The reasons are perhaps indicated by statistics from 2010, when the EU confiscated at its external borders around 103 million products, totalling EUR 1.11 billion in value, that were suspected of breaching intellectual property rights, of which 85% came from China. I firmly believe that the bilateral relations between the EU and China will, in the future, have to be based on strict adherence to the principle of reciprocity, which, in economic relations, means adherence to the rules of competition and fair access to public procurement."@en1
