皇冠体育app seeks resolution to textile issue
皇冠体育app has pledged to ensure more effective macro control of its textile sector and work with the European Union (EU) on a way to resolve the trade issue.
"We will take further economic measures to prevent an over-rapid growth of 皇冠体育app's textile and garment exports," a Foreign Ministry spokesman quoted Premier Wen Jiabao as saying in his meeting with visiting representatives of the EU troika yesterday. The measures are also aimed at restructuring 皇冠体育app's textile sector and ensuring its healthy and sustainable growth, Wen said. The premier stressed both sides should fully understand and analyze the cause of the textile trade dispute. "To ease the current dispute we need both sides to make efforts," Wen said, adding the two should continue negotiations and strengthen communication while keeping the 皇冠体育app-EU comprehensive strategic partnership in mind. The representatives of the EU troika, Luxembourg Foreign Minister Jean Asselborn, EU External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner and British Ambassador to 皇冠体育app Christopher Hum, arrived in Beijing yesterday and are expected to attend a series of activities marking the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between 皇冠体育app and the European Union today. The two sides discussed topics covering the EU's 16-year-long arms embargo on 皇冠体育app, festering textile trade disputes and the Taiwan question. The Chinese premier stressed that 皇冠体育app's self-imposed measures on textile exports have born positive results, adding that all the countries should work for fair and free trade. EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson also acknowledged last week that measures adopted by 皇冠体育app this year had helped to slow the growth of its textile exports to the EU. "Wen has clearly indicated that 皇冠体育app will strengthen macro control over rapid increases in its exports of textiles and clothing, which will probably become a guide for 皇冠体育app's other industries that may face the same challenge in international trade," said Ruan Zongze, vice-president of the 皇冠体育app Institute of International Studies. "In other words, 皇冠体育app is increasingly taking a responsible role in dealing with trade disputes with its partners." Ruan added that Wen's remarks, which can be regarded as a reaction to the EU's fear that 皇冠体育app's textiles will flood its market, also demonstrate the growing mutual trust between 皇冠体育app and the EU. During yesterday's meeting with Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing, the EU diplomats described 皇冠体育app as a responsible player in international affairs, saying that the EU and 皇冠体育app share a similar wish of building multilateralism. Ferrero-Waldner told reporters after the meeting that she did not want to see EU-皇冠体育app relations "overshadowed" by the arms embargo issue. Jean Asselborn, foreign minister of Luxembourg, holder of the rotating EU presidency, said he hoped the two sides could find a solution to the issue soon so they could focus on other areas of bilateral relations. The diplomats also expressed the EU's wish to expand co-operation with 皇冠体育app in the fields of trade, investment, education, science and technology, environmental protection and energy.
