Overview:
China is the single most important challenge for both the EU and Japanese trade policies today. For the EU, China is now the 2nd trading partner behind the USA and the biggest source of imports. For China, the EU is the biggest trading partner. In 2006 the European Commission adopted a major policy strategy (Partnership and Competition) on China that pledged the EU to accepting tough Chinese competition while pushing China to trade fairly. In 2008 the EU and China launched a new strategic mechanism for driving trade and economic policy, the High Level Economic and Trade Dialogue, to deal with issues of strategic importance to EU-China trade and economic relations. This dialogue provides a tool to address issues of mutual concern in the areas of investment, market access and intellectual property rights protection, as well as other issues related to trade. In this seminar, Ms Helena König, the Head of Unit for the Trade Relations with the Far East of the Directorate-General for Trade of the European Commission, presented overview of the EU’s issues of strategic importance in its trade relations with China. The seminar was also joined by Mr Hideto Akiba, the Director of the Northeast Asia Division of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, to outline the prospects of the Japan-China trade relations.
