The European Chamber is disappointed about the postponement of the 11th EU-China Summit

Beijing, 27th November 2008. The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is disappointed that in times of global financial turmoil and a significant economic slowdown the Chinese leadership decided to postpone the EU-China Summit scheduled to take place in Lyon on 1st December. This is a lost opportunity. The European Chamber hopes that this will not lead to the rise of economic nationalism in terms of antagonistic and protectionist actions. Consultations in the spirit of respect and openness are needed now more than ever, and should be taken up at the highest level by both European and Chinese governments.

中国欧盟商会对第11届中欧峰会的推迟表示失望

北京，2008年11月27日。在当前全球金融体系动荡、经济增长显著放缓的情况下，中国欧盟商会对中国政府推迟举行原定于今年12月1日于法国里昂召开的中欧峰会的决定表示失望。这将使双方错失良机。中国欧盟商会希望这不会引发敌对行为或贸易保护行为的出现，以致经济民族主义的升级。目前最为需要的是中欧双方政府最高层以互相尊重和开放的态度进行磋商。
