Paragraph 1 a (new)
1a. Points out that the agreement in principle on investments between the European Union and the People’s Republic of China gives China access to strategic EU sectors (telecoms, energy infrastructure, modern information and digital technologies connected, for example, with big data, intelligence, robotics and smart manufacturing), facilitating China’s ‘technological supremacy’ and thereby fulfilling one of the objectives set in the country’s ‘Made in China 2025’ plan, which involves the Chinese Government promoting Chinese firms by making government funds available to them so that they can acquire sections of the European economy that are critical to the EU’s security, at the same time leaving the EU at the mercy of technologies provided by third countries whose values and methods are unreliable;

Paragraph 1 b (new)
Paragraph 1 b (new)
1b. Points out that, as it currently stands, the agreement in principle on investments between the European Union and the People’s Republic of China will make the EU more dependent, also in agriculture, where the Chinese Government is investing large amounts of money in agricultural technology and innovation under a legislative framework that allows it to do whatever it wants; points out, furthermore, that under the current approach it would be easier for China to continue buying European firms and farmland, thereby increasing Europe’s dependence on a country in which, for example, private property does not exist, and food safety standards are a world away from those that apply in Europe;
