China has urged the European Union to revise what it described as discriminatory provisions in its proposed Public Procurement Act.
China’s Ministry of Commerce said the proposal’s “European preference” rules could restrict or exclude companies from countries outside the EU.
Spokesperson HE YADONG called on the EU to follow World Trade Organization rules and maintain an open and fair market.
He added that China would closely monitor the EU’s legislative process and assess its impact on Chinese businesses operating in Europe.
