Dombrovskis ahead of trade dialogue: &#8 • Table.Briefings

EU Commission Vice President Valdis Dombrovskis expects difficult talks in Beijing at the start of the week.

EU trade commissioner Dombrovskis pressed for a fair trade environment between the European Union and the People’s Republic in Shanghai. On Monday, he is expected to meet with Vice Premier He Lifeng in the capital Beijing. Criticism of Brussels’ decision to investigate Chinese EV imports is practically certain.

EU trade chief Valdis Dombrovskis has criticized trade with the People’s Republic as „very unbalanced“ before meeting with China’s Vice Premier He Lifeng. The EU’s trade deficit is currently almost 400 billion euros per year out of a total trade volume of 865 billion euros. The Latvian native said this in a speech in Shanghai on Saturday at the Bund Summit financial forum.
