EU sees no China free-trade talks
By EUobserver
European Commission president Jean-Claude Juncker said Monday that he sees "no perspective in the short term" for EU-China talks on a free trade agreement. At an EU-China summit in Beijing, he said that "if China wishes to open up it can do so." Juncker, with European Council president Donald Tusk, met Chinese prime minister Li Keqiang. They said they hope to conclude soon a bilateral investment agreement.
