The EU’s trade chief has set an October deadline to resolve a shopping list of trade disputes between Brussels and Beijing following talks with China’s commerce minister Wang Wentao on Monday (29 June).

The meeting was billed as the first of a planned series of trade and investment consultations between the EU and China and would seek to “stabilise and make our bilateral relationship more balanced”, Maros Sefcovic and Wentao said in a joint statement.

They also agreed to establish four “workstreams” on trade and investment balancing, export controls, intellectual property rights and WTO reform.
