5. Emphasises the need for better access to public markets; is concerned about Chinese policies on public procurement, which openly discriminate; emphasises that the EU must maintain its pressure on China to accede rapidly to the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA); supports the Commission’s review of the measures needed to ensure the fairness of access both for EU businesses to procurement procedures in third countries and for third-country businesses to European public procurement procedures, and to strengthen the EU’s position when negotiating access for European businesses to third-country public procurement procedures; stresses, however, that these measures must take such a form that they do not lead to inappropriate new partitioning of the market, which in turn might have negative repercussions on European industry and its global trade relations;
