China, EU need to open wider to each other 中欧应进一步向对方开放市场

 

Laurent Wauquiez, France's minister for European affairs, stressed further development of balanced bilateral economic ties between China the European Union during his official visit to China from May 5 to 7.

Wauquiez said that Airbus’s Sino-European joint venture in northeastern China is a model of win-win cooperation.

"We would welcome the investment of Chinese companies in Europe, including new energy, environmental protection and food safety businesses," Laurent Wauquiez told China Business News.

Sino-Europe trade relations should be based on mutual benefit, Wauquiez added. The EU hopes that European companies can be allowed to participate in public bidding in China.

"I don’t believe that China engages in trade protectionism," Wauquiez said. But he hoped that China’s regulations will become more transparent, he added.

He suggested that China and Europe further open up their market to each other.



积极平衡地发展中欧双边经贸关系,是法国欧盟事务部长洛朗•弗基耶(Laurent Wauquiez)此次来华目的之一。

弗基耶在5月6日参观天津空中客车总装有限公司时表示,这是中欧互利互惠的典范合作。

"我们欢迎中方来欧盟投资,包括新能源、环保、粮食安全等领域," 弗基耶对《第一财经日报》表示。

弗基耶还称,中欧贸易关系应该以互利互惠为基础,例如在公共招标的时候,希望中国能欢迎欧盟企业参与。

"有人说中国在搞贸易保护主义,我不这样认为。"在接受本报独家专访时,弗基耶表示,"不过我们希望,有些规则可以更具透明度。"

他建议,如果你需要一个长期的伙伴关系,这只能在互利互惠的情况下发展:在欧方,需要为向中国开放投资作出更大努力,在中方,也需要作出同样的努力。
