The Committee on Foreign Affairs adopted the\nown-initiative report by Bastiaan BELDER (EFD, NL) on EU-China\nrelations.
\nIt highlights that the EU-China strategic partnership\nis of great importance for relations between the EU and China and\nthat this relationship is paramount for finding answers to global\nconcerns, such as global and regional security, the economic\ncrisis, energy security, the promotion of democracy and human\nrights, as well as in creating a framework to address bilateral\nconcerns between the EU and China.
\nHowever, according to Members, a strategic partnership\nrequires a strong commitment to mutual responsibility and a\ngood level of confidence, and must be based on universal\nvalues.
\n(1) EU-China Strategic Partnership and\ncooperation: the report supports and\nencourages the almost 60 sectoral dialogues between the EU and\nChina, with the conviction that an enhanced and highly developed\npartnership will be mutually beneficial to both the EU and China.\nMembers wish, however, to see a strengthening of these dialogues in\nthe fields of human rights, the environment, security, energy and\nin particular the fight against counterfeit products, in view of\nits impact on public health and safety. Moreover, they state that\nthe concept of strategic partnership must be better defined\nand call for increased trade and economic relations with China to\ngo hand in hand with considerable progress in the political\ndialogue on human rights and the rule of law.
\nMembers expect Member States to give the European\nExternal Action Service (EEAS) and especially its Delegation in\nBeijing a clear mandate to strengthen the EU-China Strategic\nPartnership. They also call for the EU to implement a long-term\nstrategy vis-à-vis China, providing operational\ncoordination both between the institutions of the Union and between\nthe Union and its Member States.
\nThe report emphasises that China is not only the\nworlds second-largest economy and biggest exporter in the\nglobal economy, but also an increasingly important political\npower.
\n(2) Internal situation:\nthe report recognises the significant progress made as regards\nsocial policy. However, a successful economic policy is seriously\nthreatened by corruption scandals. Members believe that only\neffective political reforms aimed at shaping inclusive,\ndemocratic and accountable institutions that reflect Chinas\nethnic, religious, political and social diversity will pave the way\nfor building sustainable growth and stability.
\nAs regards forced abortions, although they are\nstrictly illegal in China, family-planning officials\nrepeatedly coerce women into inhumane practices, such as forced\nabortions or sterilisation. Members support Chinese voices calling\nfor an end to the one-child policy.
\n(3) Human rights and democracy: Members admire and support the courage and activism\nof those Chinese citizens acting in socially responsible ways to\npromote and defend universally recognised social and human rights.\nThe report urges the Chinese leadership to encourage civil\nresponsibility and to comply with minimum social\nstandards. Members underline the importance of compliance with,\nand rapid implementation of, all International Labour\nOrganisation rules, including the right freely to form\nindependent trade unions. Members take the view that the EU\nshould not allow market access for goods which have been produced\nby means of child labour or in facilities which gravely violate\ninternational labour standards and human rights, such as prison\ncamps.
\nThe Chinese authorities are called upon to reconsider\ntheir policy on capital punishment.
\nAs regards the freedom of the media, the report\nstresses that the Strategic Partnership between the EU and China\nincludes freedom of the media on a reciprocal basis and it deplores\nthe control and censorship of the internet by the Chinese\nauthorities.
\nOn religion, Members urge the Chinese\nauthorities to pull back on policies and practices that curtail any\ncitizens fundamental right to freedom of religion and\nbelief.
\nThe report acknowledges efforts made in the area of\ncontrolling and carefully applying the death penalty in\nChina, but remains concerned at the fact that the Chinese\nGovernment is still maintaining its policy of not releasing details\nof the number of prisoners executed annually, keeping information\non the death penalty a state secret.
\n(4) External situation:\nthe report urges China to use its global position in a more\nresponsible way, in particular in the United Nations Security\nCouncil (UNSC), where it holds a permanent seat and a right of\nveto. It stresses, in this connection, the need for China to\nabandon its veto position on any UNSC resolution allowing\nintervention in Syria in order to halt the civil war. Members call\non China to review its policy of non-interference in\ncountries internal affairs in cases of severe breaches\nof international humanitarian law. The report considers that China\ncan play a pivotal role in stabilising Afghanistan through a\nsoft power approach and urges the development of close cooperation\nbetween the EU and China on this issue.
\nMembers call on the EU to remain vigilant about the\npolitical, economic, social and environmental impact of\nChinas growing investments in Africa.\n
\nThe report encourages China, the worlds biggest\nemitter of carbon dioxide, to play a more proactive and\nconstructive role in promoting cooperation within the global\ncommunity in order to tackle climate change.
\nLastly, Members urge China to make it an absolute\npriority to ensure legal certainty for foreign companies, by\nupholding the principles of equality, reciprocity and corporate\nsocial responsibility.

Members take the view that the EU\nshould not allow market access for goods which have been produced\nby means of child labour or in facilities which gravely violate\ninternational labour standards and human rights, such as prison\ncamps.
\nThe Chinese authorities are called upon to reconsider\ntheir policy on capital punishment.
\nAs regards the freedom of the media, the report\nstresses that the Strategic Partnership between the EU and China\nincludes freedom of the media on a reciprocal basis and it deplores\nthe control and censorship of the internet by the Chinese\nauthorities.
\nOn religion, Members urge the Chinese\nauthorities to pull back on policies and practices that curtail any\ncitizens fundamental right to freedom of religion and\nbelief.
\nThe report acknowledges efforts made in the area of\ncontrolling and carefully applying the death penalty in\nChina, but remains concerned at the fact that the Chinese\nGovernment is still maintaining its policy of not releasing details\nof the number of prisoners executed annually, keeping information\non the death penalty a state secret.
\n(4) External situation:\nthe report urges China to use its global position in a more\nresponsible way, in particular in the United Nations Security\nCouncil (UNSC), where it holds a permanent seat and a right of\nveto. It stresses, in this connection, the need for China to\nabandon its veto position on any UNSC resolution allowing\nintervention in Syria in order to halt the civil war. Members call\non China to review its policy of non-interference in\ncountries internal affairs in cases of severe breaches\nof international humanitarian law. The report considers that China\ncan play a pivotal role in stabilising Afghanistan through a\nsoft power approach and urges the development of close cooperation\nbetween the EU and China on this issue.
\nMembers call on the EU to remain vigilant about the\npolitical, economic, social and environmental impact of\nChinas growing investments in Africa.\n
\nThe report encourages China, the worlds biggest\nemitter of carbon dioxide, to play a more proactive and\nconstructive role in promoting cooperation within the global\ncommunity in order to tackle climate change.
\nLastly, Members urge China to make it an absolute\npriority to ensure legal certainty for foreign companies, by\nupholding the principles of equality, reciprocity and corporate\nsocial responsibility.
\nThe Committee on Foreign Affairs adopted the\nown-initiative report by Bastiaan BELDER (EFD, NL) on EU-China\nrelations.
\nIt highlights that the EU-China strategic partnership\nis of great importance for relations between the EU and China and\nthat this relationship is paramount for finding answers to global\nconcerns, such as global and regional security, the economic\ncrisis, energy security, the promotion of democracy and human\nrights, as well as in creating a framework to address bilateral\nconcerns between the EU and China.
\nHowever, according to Members, a strategic partnership\nrequires a strong commitment to mutual responsibility and a\ngood level of confidence, and must be based on universal\nvalues.
\n(1) EU-China Strategic Partnership and\ncooperation: the report supports and\nencourages the almost 60 sectoral dialogues between the EU and\nChina, with the conviction that an enhanced and highly developed\npartnership will be mutually beneficial to both the EU and China.\nMembers wish, however, to see a strengthening of these dialogues in\nthe fields of human rights, the environment, security, energy and\nin particular the fight against counterfeit products, in view of\nits impact on public health and safety. Moreover, they state that\nthe concept of strategic partnership must be better defined\nand call for increased trade and economic relations with China to\ngo hand in hand with considerable progress in the political\ndialogue on human rights and the rule of law.
\nMembers expect Member States to give the European\nExternal Action Service (EEAS) and especially its Delegation in\nBeijing a clear mandate to strengthen the EU-China Strategic\nPartnership. They also call for the EU to implement a long-term\nstrategy vis-à-vis China, providing operational\ncoordination both between the institutions of the Union and between\nthe Union and its Member States.
\nThe report emphasises that China is not only the\nworlds second-largest economy and biggest exporter in the\nglobal economy, but also an increasingly important political\npower.
\n(2) Internal situation:\nthe report recognises the significant progress made as regards\nsocial policy. However, a successful economic policy is seriously\nthreatened by corruption scandals. Members believe that only\neffective political reforms aimed at shaping inclusive,\ndemocratic and accountable institutions that reflect Chinas\nethnic, religious, political and social diversity will pave the way\nfor building sustainable growth and stability.
\nAs regards forced abortions, although they are\nstrictly illegal in China, family-planning officials\nrepeatedly coerce women into inhumane practices, such as forced\nabortions or sterilisation. Members support Chinese voices calling\nfor an end to the one-child policy.

\nMembers, Parliament considers that a strategic\npartnership requires a strong commitment to mutual\nresponsibility and a good level of confidence, and must be\nbased on universal values.
\nMembers go on to make a series of recommendations on\nthe main themes of the EU-China partnership.

\nMoreover, they state that the concept of strategic\npartnership must be better defined and call for increased trade\nand economic relations with China to go hand in hand with\nconsiderable progress in the political dialogue on human rights and\nthe rule of law.

They also call for the EU to implement a long-term\nstrategy vis-à-vis China, providing operational\ncoordination both between the institutions of the Union and between\nthe Union and its Member States.
\n(2) Internal situation:\nParliament recognises the significant progress made as regards\nsocial policy. However, a successful economic policy is seriously\nthreatened by corruption scandals, a lack of transparency\nand a red aristocracy of close family members of\nformer and present party leaders who possess enormous fortunes\nowing to their political and economic connections.
\nMembers believe that only effective political\nreforms aimed at shaping inclusive, democratic and accountable\ninstitutions that reflect Chinas ethnic, religious, political\nand social diversity will pave the way for building sustainable\ngrowth and stability.
\nAs regards forced abortions, although they are\nstrictly illegal in China, family-planning officials\nrepeatedly coerce women into inhumane practices, such as forced\nabortions or sterilisation. Members support Chinese voices calling\nfor an end to the one-child policy.

\nOn religion, Parliament urges the Chinese\nauthorities to pull back on policies and practices that curtail any\ncitizens fundamental right to freedom of religion and\nbelief. It recalls that the Chinese state recognises only five\nreligions, namely Buddhism, Daoism, Islam and Christianity (both\nCatholicism and Protestantism), and that all of these religions\nhave centralised governing bodies loyal to the CCP. It also recalls\nthat China has banned Falun Gong since 1999 with the aim of\neradicating the practice, and as a consequence of this ban, human\nrights organisations have reported extralegal coercive measures\nsometimes resulting in death.
\nRecalling that since 2009 at least 90 Tibetans have\nself-immolated in Tibetan-populated areas of China, Parliament\nurges the Chinese Government to act in a politically responsible\nway by meaningfully engaging the Tibetan and Uighur peoples in\ngovernance issues, rather than through forcible\nassimilation.

\nMembers call on the EU to remain vigilant about the\npolitical, economic, social and environmental impact of\nChinas growing investments in Africa.
\nParliament underlines the global importance of the\nSouth China Sea, through which one third of the world's\ntrade passes and is alarmed at the escalating tension. It urgently\nappeals to all the parties involved to refrain from unilateral\npolitical and military actions, to tone down statements and to\nsettle their conflicting territorial claims in the South China Sea\nby means of international arbitration. It considers it regrettable,\nthat the survival of the dictatorial and repressive North Korean\nregime depends essentially on China. It looks forward to China\ncontinuing to take responsibility for stability on the Korean\nPeninsula, a swift resumption of the six-party talks on the\nNorth Korean nuclear threat. It is seriously worried about\nthe escalating tensions between China and Japan. It calls on all\nparties concerned (China, Japan and Taiwan) to demonstrate\nrestraint and to take steps to calm the situation on the disputed\nislands.
\nParliament encourages China, the worlds biggest\nemitter of carbon dioxide, to play a more proactive and\nconstructive role in promoting cooperation within the global\ncommunity in order to tackle climate change.
