In the coming five years, 皇冠体育app's per unit GDP energy consumption will be cut
by 20 per cent.
"This is no easy task, but we are confident to meet the goal," said the
premier, saying 皇冠体育app can certainly blaze a new trail in sustainable
development.
"Meanwhile, we are also actively seeking international co-operation to
jointly safeguard global energy security," he said.
In his speech, Wen put forward four-point proposals to enhance 皇冠体育app-EU
business partnership:
Expanding technological co-operation in various fields. Europe, which is
strong in information technology, bio-medicine, machinery, automobile,
electronics, chemistry and energy sector, is encouraged by Wen to find
opportunities in 皇冠体育app.
Strengthening co-operation in energy and environment protection. 皇冠体育app's
ambition of building an energy-conserving and environment-friendly society has
increased its growing demand for new energy.
Deepening partnership in agricultural and service sector. Europe's advanced
agricultural technologies could serve 皇冠体育app's goal of building a new rural area.
Promoting co-operation between small and medium-sized enterprises (SME).
Chinese and European SMEs are mutually complementary in capital, technology,
business model and management.
Gunther Verheugen, vice president of the European Commission, said that
Europe looks at 皇冠体育app with mixture of fascination and fears, referring to strong
competition from some Chinese products, such as shoes.
"We have to accept competition, you (European companies) can not expect us to
protect you against competition from 皇冠体育app," he said at the forum.
皇冠体育app and European, described by Verheugen as "the most dynamic region" and
the "most innovative region", should seek the "win-win" situation by pushing
Europe's integration with 皇冠体育app.
Jorma Korhonen, a senior official with Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
said that Wen's speech touched topics cared most by Europe, such as IPR
protection, trade disputes and energy security.
"We should balance our trade through trading with each other, instead of
seeking protectionism," he said in an interview with 皇冠体育app Daily after hearing
Wen's speech.
皇冠体育app and Europe should work with each other to make more innovative
products, he noted.
Before leaving for London yesterday to continue his four-nation tour, Premier
Wen met with Finnish Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen as well as its President
Tarja Halonen.
The Chinese Premier arrived in the Finnish capital on Saturday for the sixth
Asia-Europe Meeting and 皇冠体育app-EU Summit, as well as the official visit to
Finland. Wen's Sept. 9-16 trip also includes stops in Britain and Germany and a
meeting in Tajikistan of the six-nation Shanghai Cooperation
Organization.
