In the strategic document entitled "trade, growth and world affairs", the European Commission has proposed that the EU will endeavour to promote multilateral and bilateral trade negotiations, deepen economic and trade relations with strategic partners such as the United States and China, help EU enterprises enter the global market, ensure the rights and interests of EU enterprises, and initiate negotiations on comprehensive investment agreements with major trading partners.

In promoting multilateral trade negotiations, the European Commission expressed the hope that the world would be completed by the end of 2011.

In deepening trade relations with strategic partners, the European Commission proposes that the elimination of non-tariff barriers and regulatory obstacles will be the focus.

In order to help EU enterprises to expand their external markets, the European Commission has mentioned in the new strategy document that it will introduce legislative proposals next year, create a new policy tool outside the traditional trade remedy tools such as anti-dumping and countervailing measures, and impose restrictions on those countries that refuse to open up the government procurement market to EU enterprises, forcing the other party to be equal and open to the outside world.

In protecting the rights and interests of EU enterprises, IPR protection, ensuring critical raw materials and reliable energy supply will be the focus.

As a new authorization granted by the EU from member countries after the entry into force of the Lisbon treaty, EU countries should not only implement a unified foreign trade policy, but also unify their investment policies.

Therefore, the European Commission proposes that it will conclude agreements on investment protection on behalf of the European Union and other countries.
