China – EU trading relationships
At the moment, China and the European Union are two of the most important economies in the world in terms of trading activities. In November 2013 both sides have begun the negotiations on an investment agreement, which has the purpose to liberalize the investment between the parties. The agreement will further eliminate restrictions for investors in both contracting states. Also, it will establish a simpler legal framework, to further provide access to European and Chinese investors on the trading markets of both entities.
