       米乐在采访时表示,“外国投资者在中国遇到的一个困难是有些法律条文的执行,由于各省政策实施不同引起的不确定性,使得他们无法识别自己可能遇到的投资风险;另一方面,部分法律条文太过宽泛,也导致了相应的问题。中欧投资协定可以针对这些挑战,提出解决方案,此外它也预见了欧洲投资者在中国一些行业的投资不再需要合资了,这是非常好的趋势,让前者在中国境内可以更自由投资。”


Christine said in the interview, "One of the difficulties that foreign investors face in China is the implementation of some of the laws and the uncertainty caused by different implementation at the local level makes it difficult for them to identify the investment risks they may encounter; On the other hand, some laws are too broad, which also leads to problems. The China-EU Investment Agreement can provide a solution to these challenges, and it also foreshadows the elimination of the need for joint ventures by European investors in some sectors in China, which is a very good trend and allows them to invest more freely within China."

       此外,米乐律师还认为,“习近平主席是非常希望推进中国与欧洲的自由贸易,我们也看到中欧在去年年底完成了谈判。世界已经互相依赖,国家和国家、地区和地区之间需要互相协作解决卫生危机,还有经济合作,而不是关上大门。”

In addition, lawyer Christine also believes that "President Xi Jinping is very keen to push forward free trade between China and Europe, and we can see that EU and China completed the negotiation at the end of last year. The world is interdependent, and country to country, region to region need to work together to address health crises, and economic cooperation, instead of closing the door,"

       专访后,新华社发表了题目为《法国政府对外贸易顾问:中欧投资协定有利于营造良好竞争环境》的中法双语稿件,并将采访的视频播发在Facebook的新华社账号上,获得了8000+的点击与100+的评论和点赞。

       中欧投资协定谈判完成释放了积极的信号,将长期利好中欧之间的经贸往来。同时,对中国高水平开放、法治建设都将带来深远的影响,涉外法律从业者在这些领域大有可为。


The completion of negotiation of the EU- China Comprehensive Investment Agreement sends out a positive signal that will benefit our economic and trade ties in the long run. At the same time, it will have a far-reaching impact on China's high-level opening up and rule of law construction. Foreign legal practitioners have a promising future in these fields.
