The first round of negotiations for an EU-China investment agreement will take place in Beijing on 21-23 January 2014. A comprehensive EU-China investment agreement will benefit both the EU and China by ensuring that markets are open to investment in both directions. It will also provide a simpler, secure and predictable legal framework to investors in the long term. The EU sees an investment agreement with China as an important element in closer trade and investment ties between our economies. One of the EU's priorities in the negotiations will be to remove barriers to EU investors on the Chinese market.
