CAI in a coma – EU drafts new Industrial Strategy

EU Trade Commissioner Dombrovskis makes it clear: The CAI investment agreement between the EU and China is not dead – but there are significant hurdles. According to EU parliamentarians, it could take years to dismantle them. However, while the CAI is stuck, there is a lot of work going on in other areas. Brussels wants to better protect European companies from unfair competition from state-subsidized companies and make their own supply chains more independent. That, too, is aimed at China.
