Press Release: EU Trade Commissioner Mandelson in China November 23-28

Trade Commissioner EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson begins a six day visit to China. In five days of meetings ahead of the EU-China Summit on November 28, Commissioner Mandelson will meet key Chinese figures and European businesses operating in China. He will urge Chinese leaders to fulfil China's WTO obligations, take concrete measures to improve access for EU exporters and investors to the Chinese market and to protect EU businesses in China from intellectual property theft. Although China has now been in the WTO for six years, EU exporters and investors continue to face persistent problems entering and operating in the Chinese market.
